The Friends of La Peña Immigrant Rights (FLPIR) is a diverse group of people concerned with the vastly-increased threat to immigrant rights underway in the United States. They were inspired by a “Know Your Rights” presentation in December 2024 at La Peña Cultural Center in Berkeley, California.

They focus on providing educational workshops and materials that explain immigrant constitutional rights, including for those who are undocumented. They also protest violations and abuses of these rights, as well as advocate for a just and humane immigration policy in the US with local, state and the U.S. governments.

FLPIR is an independent, unaffiliated organization that works closely with other immigrant rights groups in the Bay Area and nationally. They use the spaces available at La Peña as a hub for public education to encourage immigrant “Know Your Rights” efforts.
