Mission

We are a coalition of immigration legal advocates that works on increasing access to justice and access to counsel for all immigrant New Yorkers.

How we do this:

Mobilize: Network New York State’s legal service providers by facilitating communication and information sharing to better support our immigrant communities.

Organize: Respond collectively to challenges as they arise by coordinating resources and fostering best practices among providers.

Resist: Challenge anti-immigrant policies by shining a light on injustices and confronting inequalities faced by our communities in the legal system.

Values

We are a community of advocates dedicated to seeking justice shoulder to shoulder with our immigrant clients. We are guided by the needs of the immigrant clients with whom we work.

We come together in solidarity with all New Yorkers who believe in fair and just immigration policies and who share our collective outrage at the injustices confronting immigrant communities.

We use our knowledge of immigration law and practice to empower each other and the communities we serve to collectively fight systemic oppression and seek respect and dignity for all.

We recognize that access to justice for immigrant communities is inextricably linked to the broader fight for racial justice. We commit to working alongside all others who are fighting to achieve a vision of a more just and equitable world.
