Are you worried about traveling this summer while Arab, Muslim, or visibly part of an immigrant community? Have you or someone you love ever been stopped, questioned, or searched at the airport, or even visited at home by law enforcement.

Join us for a Know Your Rights & Travel Safety townhall designed specifically for Arab, Muslim, Latinx, and immigrant communities in Metro Detroit. In a time of rising surveillance, harassment, and political repression, we deserve to feel safe, informed, and protected.

Event Time: 6:00 - 8:00 PM

Event Location:

  • Event will be in person, location will be shared once you RSVP
