Neighbors for Justice Know Your Rights Community Event

We will begin with a 15-minute orientation, where we will introduce our guest speakers, Kishwer Vikaas of the Sacramento County Public Defender's Office and Jasjit Singh of California Change Lawyers, and guest Spanish interpreter, Giselle Garcia. We will emphasize that the presentation is just general information and not individual legal advice. We will then segue to the bilingual presentation (English and Spanish), which will cover the following: rights during interactions with law enforcement; what to do if detained or questioned; how citizens can safely support community members; an overview of recent policy changes; and tips for safe advocacy and supporting impacted communities. We will then segue to a 90-minute resource and community engagement session, which will involve the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and California Human Development, who will provide resources on identifying one's rights, getting connected, and getting involved. We will then close, thanking our co-sponsors and attendees. Light appetizers and non-alcoholic beverages will be provided.
