This curriculum guide is a result of a collaboration between Causa Justa Just Cause and the Drive CA Coalition. It is intended to be a resource for community based organizations working to inform the immigrant community of the implementation of the new California driver’s licenses which will go into effect on January 1st, 2015. Through this workshop we hope to educate community members about their rights, the process and requirements to obtain a new license and opportunities for engagement in the ongoing fights to advance immigrant rights.

LICENCIAS PARA TODAS! LICENCES FOR ALL!

Time: 40 minutes

Whatcha heard? Pair Share Time: 5 minutes

o In pairs: What have you heard about it? What is one thing that’s exciting and a concern you may have or have heard other people have in regards to licenses?

o Large group: Share one concern and one exciting thing!

AB60 Information Time: 5 minutes

Facilitators will share the following:

• Driving is an essential part of daily life for many immigrant Californians.

• Up until the 1994 all immigrants had access to a driver’s license in California irrespective of immigration status. Driving without a license has resulted in tickets, vehicle impoundments, arrests, and even deportations. For the last two decades, immigrants and their allies have organized and fought to restore access to licenses. Beginning January 1, 2015 any eligible resident will be able to receive a driver’s license!

AB60 Presentation Time: 10 minutes

Facilitators will use the DriveCA Community Powerpoint or print out copies for participants.

What is AB60?

Law passed in 2013 to make California drivers’ licenses available to all regardless of immigration status.

Immigrant communities and allies have fought for 20 years to make this a reality!

What will my license look like?

Will have language on the front and back to distinguish from currently issued drivers’ licenses (proposed sample below): either blown up or butcher paper

Who is eligible?

Anyone with the required documents is eligible to acquire a new license, but the regulations are still being finalized.

How can I use my license?

• You CAN use your AB 60 license to drive and to identify yourself to police officers, for example in a traffic stop.

• You CANNOT use your AB 60 license to board an airplane or enter a federal building. It does not make you eligible for any public benefits that you were not eligible for before getting a driver’s license, and does not authorize you to work or give you the right to vote.

QUESTIONS FOR FACILITATOR THAT MAY COME UP: There may be a risk if you:

• I have a prior order of removal o talk to an attorney first

• I was detained at the border and deported without signing anything o talk to an attorney first

• I was fingerprinted at the border and deported o talk to an attorney first

• I have several traffic tickets and haven’t been able to pay them off? o Please take care of them by either doing community service or making a

payment plan with the court, again talk to an attorney if you have any concerns or, if you are a Mexican national, contact the Mexican Consulate for assistance on clearing your traffic tickets.

DOES AB 60 CONTAIN PROTECTIONS FROM DISCRIMINATION?

• The law prohibits state or local government agencies, officials, or programs that receive state funds from discriminating against someone because he or she holds or presents an AB 60 license. This includes state and local law enforcement officials.

• Additionally, AB 60 specifies that it shall be a violation of law, including, but not limited to, a violation of the Unruh Civil Rights Act, to discriminate against an individual who holds or presents an AB 60 driver’s license.

• The Drive CA Coalition will be monitoring statewide to identify and address discrimination.

HANDOUT: WE HAVE RIGHTS, CARAJO We’ll go through specific scenarios to discuss how our rights can be exercised under different situations. In any case, it is important that we remember...

OUR RIGHTS

If you are at home and ICE/Police show up:

• Do not let any immigration official or public officer into your home/house/apartment without a warrant

• If they don’t have one, they need your verbal authorization in order to go inside.

• If they have a warrant, ask them to put it under the door and only open if:

o The person ICE is looking for is currently in the house

o The address on the warrant is the correct and it is the current address of the person they are looking for

o The warrant has been signed by a judge no more than 10 days from the day they show up at your home

• Don’t open the door if the agents do not have a warrant or if it does not meet these requirements. If immigration officials or police officers enter without proper authorization, ask for their names and/or write down their badge numbers. Obtain the names and phone numbers of any witnesses.

• Do remember that you have the right to remain silent and only give them your name and don’t sign anything without an attorney present

IT IS OUR RIGHT TO REMAIN SILENT AND ONLY GIVE OUR CORRECT NAME
