Know Your Rights

Often when we face difficult situations, we can feel overwhelmed or at a loss for what to do. One of the most important actions we can take is to know our rights and support one another. AAPI New Jersey is here to support you and your community.

On the following pages, we have compiled a series of projects, trainings, conversations, and resources to help you understand your situation and figure out next steps. The information contained on these pages is not a comprehensive list, so if you have further questions or know of any additional resources that you think we should include, please reach out to us at advocacy@aapinewjersey.org

If you experience discrimination or a bias incident, you have options in making a report. The first step is understanding your rights. We’ve compiled a list of resources to help answer your questions. You can also contact us directly for more information.

We stand in solidarity with all immigrants, regardless of status or how they’ve arrived, and are committed to keeping everyone in our communities safe. We offer tips, trainings, and informational resources to help you if you need support. 

AAPI New Jersey proudly partners with the New Jersey Department of Labor & Workforce Development to educate and empower workers about their rights and benefits. Learn more about critical programs such as NJ Paid Family and Medical Leave, Earned Sick Leave, and Unemployment Insurance—resources available to all workers, regardless of immigration status.

AAPI Montclair is now AAPI New Jersey

In 2023, we formally changed our name to AAPI New Jersey to reflect the statewide priorities and activities that this group of committed community members and advocates now supports. 

We continue to host events and programs in Montclair and invite you to explore this site to learn more about the diverse resources and opportunities we offer.
