Know your rights Protests and Free Speech. <[link removed]>

Friend –

Do you know what your rights are when you're at a protest?

Do you know what to do – and just as important: what not to do – if you get stopped by the police at a demonstration?

Watch our newest Know Your Rights video <[link removed]> to learn how to exercise your right to free speech and make your voice heard.

Free speech is protected by the California Constitution and the First Amendment. It's a cornerstone of our democracy.

But did you know that your right to protest depends on what city you're in, whether you're on public or private property, and other factors you probably haven't thought of?

Before you take to the streets, make sure you know what your rights are.

Read our full Know Your Rights: Free Speech, Protests & Demonstrations guide to learn even more. <[link removed]> And be sure to check out the link on that page to special tips for students protesting on college and university campuses.

Share these important and timely resources with your family and friends.

In solidarity,


Abdi Soltani
