John, will you open your heart today on Giving Tuesday and donate to support newly arrived immigrants seeking refuge and opportunity in our communities? As a senior attorney with the National Immigrant Justice Center's (NIJC) asylum project, I have seen firsthand the transformative impact our legal services and advocacy have on newly arrived immigrants and families seeking refuge in our communities. Your donation today will provide critical legal services and representation to people seeking opportunity and safety here, and will bring them closer to stability and a new life with dignity in the United States. Give now at: https://immigrantjustice.org/GivingTuesday Your contribution will get us closer to the goal of raising $50,000 to support newly arriving immigrants in our communities. Here’s how your donation helps our new neighbors: |

$100 provides a legal consultation to keep a family together
$300 screens 10 people for a workshop to apply for asylum

Give now to help people newly arriving in our communities: https://immigrantjustice.org/GivingTuesday NIJC has been on the front lines welcoming recent migrants in Chicago and has met unprecedented needs for legal aid. This past year we informed 2,600 people of their rights, coordinated vital services, and held asylum workshops. We need your support to sustain this work. The immigrants I work with every day, whether newly arrived or long-time residents, make our communities more diverse, resilient, and compassionate. By donating to NIJC, you empower our new neighbors and uphold justice for all. I hope you will join me today in welcoming new Americans with open arms. With your generosity at any level, we can provide hope and support to those seeking to rebuild their lives and contribute to our communities. Thank you, Lisiann Rodriguez
