2017 College KYR Series Coming to a Town Near You!
Do you know your rights? Living in a politically-charged, often unexpected environment, it’s important to know what your rights are in protest, at the polling precinct, or even dealing with police. The ACLU of Mississippi is hosting a series of know your rights (KYR) workshops for college students and community members. All workshops are free and open to the public.
Sessions will focus on Freedom of Speech and Expression, Voting, LGBTQ, Encounters with Law Enforcement, and serving as Legal Observers. Programs will also include a town-hall style session about important local and state policy issues.
We are thrilled to partner with the Ole Miss ACLU chapter for our first program, which will take place in Weems Auditorium on the University of Mississippi campus in Oxford on September 15 starting at 3 p.m. RSVP now by visiting the event page on Facebook.
Don’t live in the Oxford area, don’t worry! Mark your calendar for these upcoming KYR series events:
- Jackson State University: September 18, 2-4 p.m., JSU Student Center
- Mississippi State University: October 25
- University of Southern Mississippi: November 8
- Millsaps College: November 13
- Alcorn State University: TBA
Stay tuned to our website and social media pages for updates on time and place.
