In addition to the RAISE coalition’s resources, the ACLU has informational videos that can help you learn our rights in different languages. The videos provide real-life guidance on what to do when ICE is outside our doors, is in our homes, stops us in our communities, and/or arrests us. The videos are voiced in multiple languages by an all-star cast of influencers and activists, including: Jesse Williams (English), Diane Guerrero (Spanish), Kumail Nanjiani (Urdu), Linda Sarsour (Arabic), Edwidge Danticat (Haitian Creole), Katya Lee (Russian), and Xiren Wang (Mandarin). Check out those videos here.
(Note: On January 1, 2025, Senate Bill 184 went into effect. This Florida law prohibits getting within 25 feet of law enforcement officers to interfere with law enforcement or harass the officer, after receiving a verbal warning to stay back. We recommend staying 25 feet away if you have received a verbal warning to stay back. We do not recommend taking photos or videos of immigration enforcement activities. Please do not post these on social media.)
We also have ACLU of Florida’s Know Your Rights information available in English, Spanish, and Creole. You can also access our downloadable flyers in English and Spanish here, and check out additional partner organization Know Your Rights resources here.
