As Trump Tramples Freedoms, ACLU Teaches how to Stand up for Your Rights

SAN FRANCISCO — Donald Trump has launched an all-out assault on our civil liberties.  

That’s why it’s more important than ever for Californians to know our legal rights so we can better protect ourselves, our families, and our neighbors from tyrannical attacks. 

We've just released our newest video, Police Interactions: Know Your Rights. It gives you important information about what to do — and, just as important, what not to do — if you are stopped by the police.  

Knowing this valuable information, before you actually need it, can help save your life.  

Whether you are interacting with an ICE agent or a police officer, planning to take part in a protest or want to find out what your government is doing, our Know Your Rights resources help you take back your power.  

One thing is for sure. It’s a lot harder for government officials and police agencies to get away with trampling our freedoms when we know how to stand up for our rights. 

Trump’s so-called border czar recently complained that “Know Your Rights” resources are making it hard to carry out their mass deportation agenda. Which is exactly the point.  

Educate yourself. Watch our Know Your Rights videos. And make sure to check out the full guides with more detailed tips.
