John, You can double the impact of your Giving Tuesday donation if you give now!

Additional #GivingTuesday donations made today to the National Immigrant Justice Center will be matched dollar for dollar up to $10,000, thanks to our generous pro bono partners, Barack Ferrazzano Kirschbaum & Nagelberg LLP and Faegre Baker Daniels LLP. That means your donation now has TWICE the impact for asylum seekers.

As you’ve seen and read in the news, many asylum seekers are being blocked from getting protection in the United States and many others face nearly insurmountable obstacles to safety.

But now is your chance to do something the change the outcome so an asylum seeker can have a safe future in the United States.

Immigrants with lawyers are five times more likely to win their cases than immigrants without representation*. For an asylum seeker, having a lawyer can be the difference between life and death.

Your donation to NIJC today on Giving Tuesday will help ensure a safe future for an asylum seeker fleeing harm and persecution by providing life-changing legal aid and a lawyer.

We’re 60% of the way to the goal of providing 25 asylum seekers with lawyers! Every donation helps protect asylum seekers!
