Friend, Our work is up against powerful and well-funded forces. Billionaires and corporations are lining their pockets by attacking immigrant communities. Private prison companies like GEO Group and CoreCivic spend millions of dollars every year on lobbying and campaign contributions to secure contracts for immigrant detention — profiting directly from policies that tear families apart. Dark money groups funded by billionaires like the Koch network back think tanks and media outlets that flood the public with anti-immigrant talking points. Even the Trump administration used taxpayer dollars — $200 million to be exact — to run ads that "laud President Donald Trump for his crackdown on immigrants.” Fear distracts people from the real issues we face — economic inequality, lack of health care, and corporate greed, friend, and powerful forces are spending exorbitant amounts of money to make people fear immigrants. At NILC, we fight back against anti-immigrant lies with truth, courage, and action. When you support NILC, you are powering a team of lawyers, advocates, and movement leaders who stand up to propaganda. We share real stories of immigrant communities. We defend their rights in court. We work toward enacting meaningful change in our immigration system. We won't let billionaires and fearmongers control the narrative. Your support ensures we never have to scale back our work to counter anti-immigrant lies — and that together, we can fight for a future where we all are safe, welcomed, and treated with dignity.
