In a moment when intimidation, misinformation, and government overreach are becoming everyday realities, knowing your rights isn’t optional — it’s armor.

This workshop breaks down what to do in real-world situations: protest rights, police encounters, immigrant protections, federal overstep, and the essential steps every New Yorker should understand before they ever need them.

Nova Wittenstein Brent brings a grounded perspective on civic power and voter protection.

Alyce Wittenstein covers the essentials of civil rights law — what authorities can and cannot do, what agencies you may encounter, and how to protect yourself and others.

Salua Baida and Steve Sacco will discuss immigrations topics.

It’s practical, direct, and built for the world we’re living in right now. If you want to be safer, smarter, and harder to intimidate in 2025, this is the room to be in.
