John, I am truly amazed by your generosity and compassion as 2019 drew to a close. Supporters of the National Immigrant Justice Center, like you, came together to give $435,000 (exceeding our goal!) in the past couple of months to defend immigrants and asylum seekers. Thank you for responding to the call at this time of unprecedented need and for joining us at the National Immigrant Justice Center. The compassion you’ve shown gives me great hope for 2020. Your support keeps families together, protects asylum seekers and children, and helps create humane immigration policies that benefit everyone who calls America home. I’m very grateful to our dedicated partners who gave generous matching grants including: Porter Wright Morris & Arthur LLP, Baker McKenzie, Barack Ferazzano Kirschbaum & Nagelberg LLP, Faegre Baker Daniels LLP, Perkins Coie LLP, and an anonymous community member. I don’t know what 2020 will bring, but I know that we’re ready for it and together, we will protect asylum seekers and defend immigrants in our communities. THANK YOU for all you do to fight for immigrant rights and stand with your neighbors. Wishing you a happy and peaceful new year, Mary Meg McCarthy
