Team,

This Labor Day, we are reflecting on a historic victory from earlier this year.
After decades of NILC’s advocacy, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS)
announced a new, streamlined process for immigrant workers to get temporary
protections from deportation if they stand up to abusive employers at work.

This was a big win for workers and advocates across the country.

Millions of people are potentially eligible for this relief — which could help
improve working conditions across the country — but many eligible workers have never heard of this policy. Even workers who
have heard of deferred action may not be able to access legal assistance or know
how to apply on their own.

To meet this need, NILC has partnered with local community-based organizations
to maximize the number of workers who are able to access relief. We have
published resources and hosted dozens of trainings to educate attorneys and
workers on how deferred action can make worksites — and entire communities —
safer.

Friend, we still have a lot of work to do, and we need
your help to ensure that all workers are protected by the law and can safely
speak up for themselves. Please support our work in ensuring this groundbreaking
policy can benefit all workers across the country facing unfair or unsafe labor
practices >>>
