Stay Informed | Civil Rights in Delaware

Join us for an Immigrants' Rights Rally and art installation at Legislative Hall on June 17.

Join your community members to discuss policing issues in Wilmington. Delaware's policing systems should keep communities safe, treat people fairly, and use resources wisely in order to build and maintain trust with the community. The first step to a better system is acknowledging the issues. We're holding a listening session to hear directly from the people of Wilmington about the issues they have faced and the change they wish to see in their city. This event will also include a Know Your Rights presentation to make sure Delawareans are informed about the rights and protections they have when interacting with the police. Make your voice heard and learn more about your constitutional rights from civil rights advocates in Delaware!

Vote Your Rights! Let’s remind our elected officials that they don’t have the final say when it comes to our rights — we do. We know you’re ready to vote and take action, make sure your friends and family are ready too. Create a safe space - A safe conversation is one in which everyone feels comfortable expressing their thoughts and feelings. Offer mutual respect and make the most of common ground. Listen - Be interested in what others have experienced and acknowledge their point of view. Advocate - Inform yourself about the issues that matter to you, so that you can share the facts. Sharing personal stories can also show what’s at stake.
