All people in the United States enjoy the same constitutional protections, regardless of nationality, religion, immigration status, sexual identity, disability and gender.
The best way to protect your rights is to know your rights. In this workshop, the ACLU of Colorado will share information on how to handle a police interaction to keep students safe and help de-escalate a tense encounter while not giving away their rights.
The ACLU of Colorado is the state’s oldest and largest civil rights organization. It is a private institution funded exclusively by the generous donations of supporters. Their mission is to protect, defend and extend the civil rights and civil liberties of all people in Colorado through litigation, education and advocacy.
This workshop made me realize that everyone needs to know their own rights, and stand up for their rights.
I now understand what could happen if I’m not careful and how to be safe if I meet a law officer. I know I should watch out for everyone.
This workshop taught me how to use and when to use my rights if I ever run into trouble with the law.
