AILA provides Know Your Rights handouts for several scenarios: ICE worksite raids (for employers), ICE home visits, and ICE public stops.

Everyone in the U.S. has certain rights guaranteed under the U.S. Constitution, regardless of your immigration status. You can’t always control whether you will come in contact with immigration or law enforcement. It is important to know and practice these scenarios so that you and your friends, family, and colleagues are prepared for any situation. Understanding what your fundamental rights are and how to use them will help you advocate for yourself and respond appropriately if you encounter the police or immigration enforcement.

The Houston Immigrants’ Rights Hotline provides callers with timely and accurate information about immigration laws. The hotline will also provide referrals to legal services providers and attorneys.

When you’re undocumented, you face a lot of discrimination, and that creates a lot of fear. United We Dream transforms that fear into finding your voice.

This is achieved through immigrant youth-led campaigns at the local, state, and federal level.

As visibility for transgender and gender non-conforming communities increases across the United States, so does the need to create inclusive spaces — especially in today’s schools.  Gender identity is defined as one’s personal experience of one’s gender and is separate from their biological sex. Creating safe school environments that support students on the spectrum of gender identity is a facet of inclusive, culturally responsive teaching.

To address this need, USC Rossier has created “Students and Gender Identity: A Guide for Schools,” which is a collection of tools and resources to support conversations surrounding gender identity in the classroom. Through this guide, we hope to help teachers, school counselors and school communities work together to create a safe and nurturing school climate for all students.
