Do you know your rights? Are you looking for multilingual legal resources? Trying to understand what YOU can do to advocate with impacted AAPI and working class communities?

Red Cards

All people in the United States, regardless of immigration status, have certain rights and protections under the U.S. Constitution. APIs CAN and our partners at the Greater Boston Legal Services Asian Outreach Center (AOC) have created red cards give examples of how people can exercise these rights. However, these cards do not provide individualized legal advice. Community members are encouraged to check in with a trusted legal service provider for questions about their situation, including AOC.

Print Your Own

The artwork for printing your own cards is available below. These are formatted as standard 3.5” by 2” business cards. Translated versions are designed to support monolingual immigrants translate their rights with immigration officers.

  • Any print or copy shop should be able to work from these files.

  • You can also print them on your own personal printer.

  • We strongly recommend printing these with rounded corners (rounding out the corners with scissors when cutting) and using durable bright paper, which allows them to be easily found in a wallet or purse and contrast well with black ink.

  • Lamination is optional and best with rounded corners.
