Your 2018 Ringtone

For non-Spanish-speaking immprofs, the song begins with: “If immigration comes to arrest you, keep calm. You have the right to remain silent… [and] ask for an attorney.”

The 20 second ditty was created by Unite Here Local 1. Their goal: to educate immigrants about their rights during an arrest. As Maya Miller reports for WTTW (Chicago), “It was made with the intent to be catchy so the lyrics would be easy to recall in stressful or nerve-racking situations.”

The union hopes that immigrants and citizens alike will download the ringtone in an effort to educate as many as possible about their rights.
