The "Know Your Rights" campaign, launched on January 23, 2025, by Mayor Brandon Johnson and the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA), focuses on educating residents about their rights when confronted by federal immigration agents. This initiative features digital ads displayed on over 400 CTA video screens, directing riders to vital online resources. With a QR code leading to a multilingual campaign website, the initiative is designed to assist individuals in navigating their rights, particularly during ICE encounters. Mayor Johnson remarked on Chicago's dedication to being a Welcoming City, reinforcing the city's inclusive values. CTA President Dorval R.

Carter, Jr. supported the effort, emphasizing the importance of constitutional rights for all transit users. The website offers resources in English, Spanish, and French, developed in collaboration with organizations like The Resurrection Project and the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights. Additionally, the campaign includes essential guidance for families dealing with immigration detentions. This proactive approach not only informs residents but also fosters a supportive environment for those affected by immigration issues.
