Hi John, you know how tough this year has been. We’ve all been impacted in different ways, and at the National Immigrant Justice Center (NIJC), my incredible colleagues jumped into action to come up with innovative solutions to keep providing immigration legal services that are critical to families’ health, safety, and stability. We can keep making a difference for thousands of families, but only with your help. Imagine that piled on top of everything else this year, you were living with the uncertainty and fear of not having permanent legal status in the United States. Without permanent legal status, your access to health care is extremely limited, and you’re not authorized to work but you still need to find a way to provide for yourself and your family. This is the reality for many immigrant families in our communities. But, you can help – your donation to NIJC today on Giving Tuesday will give families legal services that help them stay safe and together and put them on the path to stability. You can give now at: www.immigrantjustice.org/givingtuesday You can help a family connect with a lawyer at NIJC so they can obtain legal status, get a loved one out of immigration jail, and be able to stay together and safe in the United States. During my 16 years as a lawyer with NIJC and the associate director of legal services, I have seen thousands of families move towards stability and a hopeful future after receiving NIJC’s legal services. You can help reach the goal of providing 20 families with legal services that are critical to their health, safety, and stability. Give now at: www.immigrantjustice.org/givingtuesday Here is how your donation helps families: $30 – half hour of translation during a legal appointment
$100 – one legal consultation to keep a family together
$300 – files a request to free a parent from jail
