A note from the Immigrant Defense Project
Dear IDP Friends and Supporters,
At this moment of deep uncertainty and pain, our hearts go out to everyone suffering from the COVID-19 pandemic, including the most vulnerable of us — those who are behind bars, whether in jail, detention, or prison. We are grateful to be part of a community of advocates, lawyers, and other directly impacted leaders standing up for the rights of all of us. While our physical office is now closed, IDP continues to do everything we can to support legal and political efforts to get people released from detention and jail. We are doing our best to fill gaps in resources and work with partners to make sure we are stronger and more coordinated. And we will continue to track and fight back against ICE’s cruel and dehumanizing tactics and rhetoric. Below you’ll hear more about our response. If you see other gaps where IDP can support, please let us know. Sending love and appreciation for all that you do to make this work possible. Let’s protect ourselves and each other.
In solidarity,
Alisa, on behalf of everyone at IDP
