immigration

In the face of dehumanizing policies and rhetoric, immigrant communities stand strong. We stand with them.

Immigrants are our neighbors, our friends, and our family. Right now, the stakes in our immigration system could not be higher—access to health care, employment, education, and even the right to stay in the U.S. with family and community are uncertain. Yet immigrants, including children, are not guaranteed a lawyer to help with these complex immigration matters.

23,000

6,300
