The Fight Continues
This past week, we saw the majority of our nation choose a new
direction for our country’s leadership. The decision was met with
jubilation around the world and a renewed sense of hope among
millions. The Immigration Advocates Network shares our peers’
optimism for an improved political climate for immigrants and
refugees in this country and know that our work is far from over. We
remain committed to ensuring that immigrants and their advocates have
all the tools at their disposal to easily navigate our immigration
system and find peace and security in America. Thank you for your
partnership and support during these very difficult last few years.

New immi Chatbot
The Immigration Advocates Network is excited to launch the immi
chatbot on WhatsApp, a new way for immigrants to find legal help. The
bilingual (English and Spanish) chatbot helps users understand their
immigration options and find local nonprofit immigration legal help.
To reach the immi chatbot, start a chat with (415) 400-8660 on
WhatsApp.
To learn more about the new chatbots, register to attend or hear the
recording of a webinar, “New Ways to Help Immigrants with
Chatbots” on December 16th, 2pm ET/ 1pm CT/ 12pm MT/ 11am PT. -

Statistica reports that “1.5 billion users in 180 countries makes
WhatsApp the most-popular messaging app in the world.” In Latinx
communities Whatsapp is used by 60% of the population, far more than
any other communication app. “Our communities are comfortable using
WhatsApp so we want to meet them where they are,” said Sebastian
Zavala, Program Manager of the immi project.
The chatbot is the latest triage tool for immi.org. The website
features the Immigration Paths Quiz to identify options for legal
status in the U.S. and the Make a Plan Quiz for a customized
checklist on how to prepare for enforcement actions. The website's
legal directory helps people find nearby free and low cost
immigration legal help. The immi Learning Center contains plain
language immigration law articles and updates. Since 2016, immi has
helped over 200,000 immigrants find answers to their immigration
questions.
