Red Cards

  • Mesa Valley Indivisible uses donations to purchase red cards from progressive printing businesses to give to anyone willing to pass them out to our vulnerable community members.

  • If you would like red cards at no charge, please email us at mesavalleyindivisible@gmail.com

What are Red Cards?

  • All people in the United States, regardless of immigration status, have certain rights and protections under the U.S. Constitution. The ILRC's red cards give examples of how people can exercise these rights.

  • These red cards are life-savers

  • The people who need them know what they are - simply say for “la migra”

  • Spanish radio stations talk about red cards all day everyday

  • Many people are uneducated - unable to write or copy another person’s red card

  • Any word or even noise a person makes can be counted as a response to ICE agents – they will lie!

    • When ICE comes to them, people stay silent and just show them the card – even through a window!

  • There are various languages now available - click here to view and print off your own

Directions

  • Go to neighborhoods that are the most vulnerable

  • In restaurants – walk by the kitchen and hand them to the cooks

    • Do NOT give to managers or to people who are not Brown – they will throw them away

  • Cleaning people

  • Landscapers

  • Small churches like the ones in your neighborhood and in shopping centers

    • Talk to the pastors

Notes

  • Please do not waste them

  • Place the red cards in small bags when leaving at doors – the smallest possible so we don’t waste even more plastic
