Know Your Rights

Throughout the years, GLAHR has been informing the community about their constitutional rights and educating communities on how to document and report violations of their constitutional rights.

Since we started, we have distributed approximately 100,000 flyers hand-to-hand, visiting and placing posters in dozens of businesses frequented by the Latino community. We spread our efforts across the state of Georgia, in communities as far as Savannah and Tifton, through collaboration with members and organizations from the areas.

Our objectives: To educate and empower the Latino community by informing them about their constitutional rights so they know how to protect themselves, their families, their homes, and their neighbourhoods; To provide printed materials to disseminate within and outside our homes, as well as in businesses and immigrant shelters; Provide a helpline to report ICE activities and inform the community about court proceedings and immigration procedures; Respond to community concerns and needs in specific neighbourhoods so that the community itself can create its own resolutions and action plans; Organise and mobilise community members to make Georgia an ‘ICE-Free Zone.’
