WHO WE ARE

The Know Your Rights Foundation is an organization dedicated to informing the countless communities within the United States of their Constitutional Rights when dealing with law-enforcement at routine police stops, without such basic knowledge in many cases, leads to catastrophic even deadly encounters with the police, mostly within impoverished African American and Latin American neighborhoods.

Today the Know Your Rights Foundation is working to play an active and leading role in educating the many communities in this vital information which has eluded and escaped and in many cases been withheld from their understanding.

We believe that building a broad-based movement led by enthusiastic, passionate, compassionate and extremely motivated people of all backgrounds, grounded in grassroots community organizing will create highly informed and empowered communities able to assert their rights and take action when those rights are violated.
