Donate We sued to protect refugees stranded in Mexico More Info An Industry of Misery The U.S. government’s vast detention and deportation machine works to grind down the spirit of the immigrant. In its wake, communities are torn apart, families separated, and refugees forced to relinquish their right to freedom, inclusion, and safety. Every case that should win, does win, every time, everywhere Like you, we are frustrated by the persistent exclusion of immigrants from civil society, the for-profit detention and deportation system, the immoral and inhumane restrictions on movement, and the unrelenting assault on those fleeing persecution. By scaling the impact of immigrant advocates working on-the-ground to defeat the Vast Deportation Machine, we are able to build permanent pathways to immigrant and refugee justice. Our Programs Rapid Interventions We deploy limited, time-bounded interventions at immigrant/refugee crisis points to provide direct representation, mitigate detention, and create opportunities for partners & allies to engage in longer-term interventions. Equity Corps of Oregon We combine tactical lawyering and technology to create a replicable model for massive universal representation through our work to defend immigrants in Oregon BorderX We implement massive collaborative representation strategies to scale anti-detention work. Defend Asylum We create super massive collaborative strategies to defend asylum rights, protect access to the asylum system for persons fleeing persecution, and facilitate fair decisions on the merits. Clearinghouse We develop secure regional and national information and service exchanges between direct service providers, impact litigators, and policy advocates. We need You.
