Understanding your rights is essential to protecting democracy and participating fully in civic life. This training is for everyone, not just immigrants. When people know their rights, they are better prepared to respond calmly, lawfully, and effectively in uncertain or challenging situations.

We encourage you to attend and to invite friends, family members, and community members who have not yet received this important information. An informed public is a strong public—and education is a vital step toward safeguarding our shared freedoms.

This event is co-hosted by the League of Women Voters of the Elgin Area and AAUW Elgin Area Branch.
