Know Your Rights Guide to Protesting for Non-U.S. Citizens

In the U.S., the rights of freedom of speech and freedom to assemble are at the foundation of artistic expression, and at the core of our right to publicly protest for political and social change. But many non-citizens who are in the U.S. are unclear about what rights they have to participate in political demonstrations.

Right now, the voices of everyone in America need to be part of the conversation. This is why Tamizdat, CoveyLaw, Artistic Freedom Initiative, and PEN America's Artists at Risk Connection have collaborated to create this critical guide, “Going to Protests When You’re not a U.S. Citizen (What You Need to Know).” This guide in jpeg form is downloadable as two images with all 4 sections on them, and as 4 separate images, one section per image. Please share far and wide.
