Are you interested in activism, and what to learn more about your rights when you attend protests? Have questions about your rights when interacting with the police?

You will learn what to do when police stop you and ask questions on the streets, your rights when police search you, your car, or your home, and your rights when police want to detain or arrest you in various contexts.
