Dear John, My dream became possible because of the National Immigrant Justice Center (NIJC). The team at NIJC helped me secure asylum here in the United States and now I feel more free to live my life.  That’s why I’m reaching out to you today, on International Migrants Day. To ask you to give your first gift to NIJC on this special day. Any gift you can give, no matter the size, makes a difference for someone just like me. Someone who had to leave behind their home in search of a safer life. You can make your gift here: https://immigrantjustice.org/donate In September, a judge in California finally recognized the fear and persecution I faced in Mexico because of who I am—a trans woman. It was a really hard time. A long eight-year battle. I spent two years of my life in immigration detention. But now, I have finally reached what exactly I have been fighting for. I could not have fought this battle without NIJC and my pro bono lawyers from Mayer Brown. Thank you to the whole complete team at NIJC. And thank YOU! Because people like you care about those of us fighting for our rights, NIJC is here. You help make their work possible. I hope from the bottom of my heart to every single one who's been in my situation: get asylum, or get something to be free, especially in this country. People who are fighting for their rights deserve to have advocates like NIJC by our sides. Will you please help? Give a gift to NIJC today in honor of International Migrants Day. Your donation will bring more hope than you can imagine. |
