Last week, the policy paradigm that awaits immigrant communities in 2025 became clearer and more urgent. We know this moment is bringing up a tremendous amount of fear, but we alongside hundreds of our advocate partners across the nation stand ready to protect and defend the rights of immigrants across our country.
We wanted to let our community know how Pro Bono Net and our Justicia Lab team are preparing for this moment, and share some of our resources that may be helpful for your own networks:
- We’re making sure that people can more easily find and connect with trusted legal services through Immigration Law Help and the Immigration Advocates Network;
- We’re working to provide up to date information on the changing legal landscape for immigrants through the Ready to Stay coalition and Immi;
- We’re working to help immigrants apply for a form of immigration relief and naturalization through our online tool Citizenshipworks;
- We’re expanding our tools that support immigrant workers through our workplace justice initiative ¡Reclamo! – designed to empower immigrant workers to know their rights, file wage theft claims, and fight back against other forms of labor exploitation.
If you’re interested in supporting our rapid-response work to update these critical legal rights resources and referral tools, which thousands of immigrants and our network of over 200 partners across the US rely on, please reach out or visit our donate page.
And if you know of an organization that supports immigrants and might benefit from these resources, please consider sharing this with them.
Thank you for your support during this time. Together, we can help keep people safe, informed, and supported.
In unity,
Rodrigo, Liz & the Pro Bono Net team
