Last Day for Our End of Year Campaign
Help Us Build a Brighter Future for Immigrants in 2021

We ask you to consider making a gift today to help us continue our mission into 2021 of providing asylum seekers and other immigrants in detention with the legal knowledge and services they need to succeed. Now is the time to build back our justice system.
Asylum seekers without representation receive protection only 12% of the time, whereas those with an attorney are granted protection 47% of the time. The Migrant Center is working on the ground every day to level the playing field and ensure that everyone has a real shot at a fair day in court.
