Design Sprint with Google.org

Earlier this month Justicia Lab collaborated with Google.org to bring together immigrant advocates from around the country to co-design new ways of bringing information to immigrants and refugees nationwide. Our event, held at Pier 57 at the Google NYC headquarters, explored ways of using Artificial Intelligence, shared resource hubs, low-bandwidth solutions, and accessible design to empower even more immigrants and refugees with information.

Special thanks to the Google NYC and Google.org teams as well as our participants from International Rescue Committee, Welcome.US, USAHello, FWD.us, UnidosUS, Catholic Legal Immigration Network, Inc. (CLINIC), CHIRLA, Asylum Seeker Advocacy Project (ASAP), Documented, Immigrant ARC (iARC), the NYC Mayor's Office of Immigrant Affairs, and Pro Bono Net

Interested in the results of our 3-day design sprint? Send us a note to learn more about the ideas we explored.

Justicia Lab’s Sandra Sandoval & ¡Reclamo! App Recognized at the 2023 American Legal Technology Awards

At this year’s American Legal Technology Awards our very own Product Lead, Sandra Sandoval, won the American Legal Technology Awards Individual of the year and our wage recovery project, ¡Reclamo! was a runner up in the Access to Justice Legal Technology category. We are grateful to the judging committee for this year’s recognition and are especially grateful to Sandra Sandoval for her years of service and innovative contributions that have earned her this well-deserved recognition.

Sandra is a latine tech leader who immigrated from Mexico with her family to the U.S. at age 3 and became a naturalized American citizen last year using Justicia Lab’s Citizenshipworks, a free online tool that Sandra has worked to develop for over a decade. 

“Growing up in an undocumented family, I saw first-hand how intimidating it was for my family to seek legal help. Between the cost of assistance and not knowing who to trust for help, we always felt lost. That’s why this work is so important to me. I have the opportunity to bring free, quality resources to immigrants, who like my family, may not know where to start and live in fear,” says Sandra.

Join us in congratulating Sandra!
