Community Resources
LAS Global Studies is committed to providing our community members—students, faculty, and staff—with resources to help navigate the challenges we are facing. One of the options that can be very powerful is reaching out to your congressional representatives to express your views on how they are representing and advocating for your interests. This is a fundamental right and an important tool to ensure your voice is heard and your concerns are addressed.

Red Cards / Tarjetas Rojas
All people in the United States, regardless of immigration status, have certain rights and protections under the U.S. Constitution. The ILRC’s Red Cards help people assert their rights and defend themselves in many situations, such as when ICE agents go to a home.
Todas las personas en los Estados Unidos - sin importar su estatus migratorio - tienen derechos y protecciones bajo la constitución del país.
