Friend,
Last week the policy paradigm that awaits immigrant communities in 2025 became clearer and more urgent. We know what’s coming. Thankfully, our national network of immigration legal advocates has spent months preparing for the expansion of detention, large-scale raids, and the termination of multiple forms of affirmative immigration relief. As our partner Camille Mackler of Immigrant ARC said recently in The New York Times, “The Trump team might think they are ready, but so are we.”
We know this moment is bringing up a tremendous amount of fear, but we alongside hundreds of our advocate partners across the nation stand ready to protect and defend the rights of immigrants across our country.
So how have we been preparing for this moment?
-
We’re working to provide up to date information on the changing legal landscape for immigrants through the Ready to Stay coalition and Immi;
-
We’re making sure that people can more easily find and connect with trusted legal services through Immigration Law Help and the Immigration Advocates Network;
-
We’re working to help immigrants apply for a form of immigration relief and naturalization through our online tool Citizenshipworks; and
-
We’re expanding our tools that support immigrant workers through our workplace justice initiative ¡Reclamo! - designed to empower immigrant workers to know their rights, file wage theft claims, and fight back against other forms of labor exploitation.
While our preparations have been ongoing for months, we need your help to fund our rapid response work.
We’re raising $50,000 between now and the end of 2024 to help us staff a rapid-response team and update critical resources that immigrants and our partners rely on to keep our communities safe and informed. Can we count on your support?
