City of Chicago and the Office of Immigrant, Migrant, and Refugee Rights (IMRR) announced the launch of two new initiatives: the expansion of the City’s Know Your Rights (KYR) Campaign and the Family Preparedness Campaign (FPC). As part of its ongoing efforts to keep families informed, IMMR unveiled a new, upgraded website designed specifically for immigrant and refugee communities. The Family Preparedness Campaign is the next phase of the City’s KYR initiative. It provides immigrant, refugee, and mixed-status families with tools and resources to prepare in case of family separation due to federal immigration enforcement.  

Key resources include: 

Printable and fillable Family Preparedness Plan packets created by community partners, available in multiple languages, to help families organize critical information.  

Infographics and guides with trusted resources and community contacts.  

Workshops hosted in partnership with organizations such as the Chicago Legal Protection Fund and the Chicago Public Library, offering step-by-step guidance on creating safety and communication plans. 

The City has also launched a newly enhanced IMRR website at www.chicago.gov/IMRR, led by the Office of Immigrant, Migrant, and Refugee Rights (IMRR).  This updated digital resource provides: 

Step-by-step, easy-to-follow guidance for immigrant families and individuals;  

User-friendly content and clear visuals;  

Resources tailored to immigrant and refugee communities, highlighting services and protections.
