Resources for Standing With

Undocumented
Immigrants, Muslims,
Neighbors,
and Strangers

The following resources are provided
as tools and as encouragement to
help us love one another, love our
neighbors, and love the stranger.
We do so in response to God's call
and joyfully knowing that, in these
acts of love and accompaniment,
we may meet Christ or perhaps be
surprised by angels. (Matthew 25:3536, Hebrews 13:2).
Please note that nothing here
serves as a substitute for the legal
representation of an attorney regarding
specific situations and the law.

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS

LEVITICUS 19:34, NEW INTERNATIONAL VERSION

Knowing legal rights that are granted
within the United States will allow all
of us to better stand for one another's
rights in the process of seeking
safety for all. It is particularly useful
for immigrants without residency
documents to know that they still
have certain rights and how to avail
themselves of them.

All the Law has been fulfilled in a single statement:
Love your neighbor as yourself.

Single page Know Your Rights
handouts are available for download
from the American Civil Liberties Union
(ACLU) in a number of languages.

The foreigner residing among you
must be treated as your native-born.
Love them as yourself,
for you were foreigners in Egypt.
I am the Lord your God.

GALATIANS 5:14, COMMON ENGLISH BIBLE
