I received this at my Red Rock appointment - and thought it was something every needs in their lives. Feel free to print it out and put it up in your house. I know I am going to frame it.
Sometimes we forget we have rights - especially when we are in the middle of a situation we can't control, or we can't get out of. But this is a good reminder that we do, indeed, have rights. So take a few and read it.
