Dear Friends,
It's not too late to make an end-of-year donation to IDP. With your support, the Immigrant Defense Project has been fighting harder than ever to secure fairness and justice for all immigrants.
Together, in 2021, we have:
- Provided critical legal support to over 1000 community members and attorneys through IDP’s hotline
- Collaborated with criminal justice allies to pass 7 bills in New York state that protect the rights of vulnerable communities and incarcerated people
- Secured a landmark damages settlement for an HIV positive New Yorker who was illegally targeted by ICE
- Supported dozens of pardon requests, including the successful campaign to win clemency for Roland Sylvain, who faced deportation for signing the wrong name on a traffic ticket.
- Published cutting-edge research challenging the dominant notion that tech-fueled "smart borders" are a humane alternative to physical walls.

We face many challenges in the new year from the pandemic to the politics of division that target immigrants and communities of color. We will continue to fight back in 2022 and we know we can achieve even more in our fight for the rights of all immigrants with your support.
With love and solidarity,
The IDP Team
