Friend,

In the wake of a newly declared national emergency at the border and other restrictive changes to immigration, lawyers are needed to protect immigrant communities now more than ever! We will be sharing more projects to support immigrants soon, so keep an eye out.

In the meantime, if you’re ready to help this community now, check out these new projects below.

	1—5 HOURS | JANUARY 30th at 3pm ET Virtual Lawyer Training: Preparing Nonprofits For Attacks We The Action Nonprofits play a vital role in society by addressing needs that are often unmet by the private sector and government. But recently, they have come under attack. Come learn the ways in which nonprofits may be threatened, where the needs are, and what you can do to help these organizations as a volunteer lawyer. This is a remote workshop, and lawyers may be barred in any state.
	11—20 HOURS Intake and Legal Assistance for Adoptees Without Citizenship Adoptees For Justice Over 300,000 children have been adopted from abroad by U.S. citizen parents. Some of these adoptees’ parents did not complete the necessary processes to provide their adopted children with citizenship or, in many cases, even a green card. Help Adoptees Without Citizenship with current needs, defend against removal, and reopen immigration cases so they can return to the only home they've ever known. This is a remote project, and lawyers may be barred in any state.
	11—20 HOURS Offer Legal Assistance for Korean Americans Experiencing Immigration Challenges NAKASEC (National Korean American Service & Education Consortium) NAKASEC was formed to organize Korean American communities and build coalitions with other communities of color with shared values toward collective liberation at the national level. Lawyers are needed to respond to community members experiencing challenges in the immigration system. Korean language is preferred. This is a remote project, and lawyers may be barred in any state.
