Email from Rian Immigrant Center   Dear Friend, I write to you today to ask for your help and support at a time when it is desperately needed. As you know, the Rian Immigrant Center is one of the primary providers of legal services to immigrants in Massachusetts. President Trump began his first week in office with raids in Greater Boston, and the impact of his administration’s divisive, anti-immigrant stance is very clear. We want it to be no secret that—in the face of this intentionally engineered fear, division, and chaos—Rian continues to boldly stand in solidarity with our immigrant friends and neighbors. We will continue to marshal all resources at our disposal to support our community in the face of heart-wrenching hatred and injustice. For 35 years, the Rian Immigrant Center has had a vision of a shared society where all are welcomed and valued, and all can enjoy equal opportunities and protections. Less than one week under the new presidential administration, it has become abundantly clear that the distance to achieving this vision has grown wider than at any other time in our organization's history. We are in this together, and we need your support more than ever before. Just like all of us, our immigrant neighbors have come here with an aspiration to fulfill their most fundamental human needs, secure a fair and dignified livelihood, and build a better, more peaceful future for themselves and their families. Please join us in the vanguard by donating to our immigration legal services program. Our strength is in our unity, and together we can stand strongest for those who need us most.
