(1) Distribute Know Your Rights (KYR) wallet-sized cards to your own personal, professional, academic, or social networks.
There are 3 types of cards in terms of subject matters: immigrants' rights (interaction with ICE), interaction with police, right to demonstrate/protest. Each card has 2 language versions: English, Spanish. (Know Your Rights about interaction with ICE also has a version in Simplified Chinese.)
If you need only a small amount (about 20 or so) of KYR cards, you can contact our chapter by using the form https://acluscc.org/contact/.
For bulk order, please use the ACLU NorCal Material Request Form.
(2) Monitor or screen agendas of selected government meetings to see if there is any agenda item that implicates civil liberties, and report the findings to chapter leaders. This is a weekly activity that takes about one hour per week. Training will be provided.
(3) Alert us of any upcoming community events that may be of interest to ACLU, e.g. tabling opportunities, speaking engagements.
(4) Sign various petitions listed in the "Take Action" page to urge your State Senator or Assemblymember to vote on ACLU's priority bills according to ACLU's position.
