Know Your Rights
The Friday Night Program for September 28 from Maghrib to Isha is a workshop titled “Know Your Rights” led by Sr Maryam Al-Zoubi.
If you don’t know your rights, you don’t have rights. Learn how to protect yourself and your family.
All Americans have constitutional rights that the government cannot violate. Immigrants also have rights. But unless you know your rights in every situation, you cannot protect yourself.
