Dear John, more than 500 children and youth who rely on the National Immigrant Justice Center (NIJC) for legal support are at risk of losing their only lifeline. The Trump administration is cruelly targeting our youngest community members. The administration cut funding for legal representation for unaccompanied immigrant children, abandoning more than 26,000 children nationwide. Here in our communities, that means more than 500 children who NIJC represents may soon stand alone in court. But you can keep that from happening. Your support is urgently needed to defend not only children, but all immigrants in our communities. Your emergency donation today ensures that children and other community members can receive life-changing legal services that keep them together with their families and help them achieve safety and stability. Your gift — no matter the size — makes a difference. Will you make an emergency donation today? |

The administration’s contempt for immigrants is clear. It is also clear that NIJC can no longer count on funding from federal government programs that, for decades prior to this administration, had provided access to counsel for the most vulnerable immigrants. Without your support, NIJC will be forced to drastically cut services. But we refuse to abandon the thousands of people, including children and people seeking asylum, who we serve. With help like yours, NIJC can: - Provide legal services to people in our communities, including unaccompanied children and youth, as they face deportation
- Educate people about their rights so they can protect themselves and their loved ones
- Litigate against the administration’s anti-immigrant policies and actions
Please, make your emergency gift today to help protect our community members. |

Thank you for being a part of the NIJC community. Your support makes justice possible. |
