Immigrant Advocates Expand “We Have Rights” Campaign To Include French Language Videos
(NEW YORK) – Today, Brooklyn Defender Services launched five new French-language videos in the “We Have Rights” series, a national immigrant empowerment campaign to inform people of what to do when interacting with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
In 2018, Brooklyn Defender Services along with the ACLU, MediaTank, Immigrant Defense Project, and other partners launched We Have Rights, a series of animated films in seven languages to help immigrants know what to do when confronted by ICE in the most common situations. The films have been seen millions of times and are used in trainings and know-your-rights events throughout the country.
Today, Brooklyn Defender Services introduced an eighth language, French, to the series in response to a need for know-your-rights information for French-speakers. The full list of languages includes: English, Spanish, Arabic, Mandarin, Russian, Haitian Creole, Urdu, and French.
