Sharing Guidelines for YARR’s Video & Song on Know Your Rights: “Aqui en nuestro pueblo”

- Use bilingual (Spanish/English) trigger warnings if you add content that might be triggering to the intended audience (undocumented migrants)

English Translation of Lyrics
English translation of lyrics:
Here in our town
Here where we live
We all have rights
That together we demand.
Never open the door
If ICE comes knocking
Unless they have a warrant
Signed by a judge.
You have a right
To speak to an attorney.
And never sign anything.
Remain silent (2x).
If you’re outside in the street
And ICE stops you
Ask the agent, “Am I free to go?”
You have a right
To speak to an attorney.
And never sign anything.
Remain silent (2x).
