Hi John, have you wondered if there’s anything you can to do help people seeking asylum and safety? I have some good news for you. Next week on Giving Tuesday, November 30th, your donation to the National Immigrant Justice Center (NIJC) provides people seeking asylum with legal services that help them have a safe and stable future in the United States. Many of the people whom NIJC serves were forced to flee their home countries in order to save their lives—some were tortured because of their political beliefs, some experienced brutal domestic violence, others were targeted by violence because of their gender identity or had their lives threatened by gangs. But when they come to the United States, they are blocked from seeking asylum at the border. Others are needlessly locked up in immigration jail just for asking for protection. The process to apply for asylum and protection is incredibly confusing, but with a lawyer by their side, people have a real chance to establish safe lives for themselves and their families. You can help people have this opportunity by donating to NIJC on Giving Tuesday. Add Giving Tuesday to your calendar so you remember to participate in this global day of giving back on November 30th: |
