“You don’t have to be in handcuffs to
need the 5th Amendment.
You just have to live in a world where
the system wasn’t built for you.
When we don’t know our rights, we give them away for free.
When we learn them, we move differently — we speak differently — we protect ourselves and our people with purpose.”

“Finally, a legal book that speaks our language.”
“I use this in my Know Your Rights workshops — it makes complicated law simple and powerful.”
“This is what school should’ve taught us.”
Don’t wait until you need a lawyer to learn your rights.
Learn them now — for you, your congregation,
your community, your family.
Because when you know your rights,
you can move through this system like you own it.
