Friend,

There’s no denying that this past year was steeped in challenges.

Access to asylum was further restricted by federal decision-makers.

At the state level, legislatures in places like Florida and Texas continued to wage their racist campaigns against black and brown families and children through several restrictive, punitive, and outright anti-immigrant laws.

But, with your support, we continued to stand against hate.

Thanks to you, we:

Provided 1,586 children in federal detention with the accompaniment and support of Child Advocates.
Offered 20,668 services, ranging from ongoing case advocacy to community support.
Conducted 16 trainings nationally, bringing 289 new Volunteer Child Advocates to work with unaccompanied and separated immigrant children in government custody.
Engaged with stakeholders working with immigrant youth caught in the child welfare system 96 times; 45 of these engagements were with reunifying families separated under Trump’s Zero Tolerance policy.
Supported children in 17 states who arrived here from more than 48 countries around the globe.

These aren’t just empty ciphers.

To us, every number is a story. And each story is of a child, dreaming and hoping for a better life, for themselves and their family.

Your contributions are helping them and us shape a brighter tomorrow, where hate has no home.
