WOW! THANK YOU! The outpouring of support for Ripon overnight has been overwhelming and amazing. I'm working with Nadja now to safely transfer these funds to Ripon. I'd also like to thank my close friend who has offered to translate Bengali/English and simplify this process!
Now that Ripon's funding goal has been comfortably met, if you would like to scale your donation by giving to an organization that does this work every day, please consider this list posted on Nadja's Twitter:
Al Otro Lado - https://alotrolado.org
Al Otro Lado is a bi-national, direct legal services organization with offices in Los Angeles, San Diego and Tijuana, Mexico, serving indigent deportees, migrants, and refugees. Not only do they provide legal orientation to asylum seekers who wish to present themselves to U.S. authorities to seek asylum, they are a key player in litigation efforts challenging the systemic human rights violations brought about by governmental policies and practices that infringe upon the right to seek asylum at the U.S.-Mexico Border.
Haitian Bridge Alliance - https://haitianbridge.org
With a focus on helping Haitian and African immigrant and asylum-seekers on the border and in ICE facilities across the US, Haitian Bridge Alliance gives assistance to asylum-seekers on the border, in ICE detention, and upon release with legal representation, bond payments and providing a safety net once they’re out. With an uptick in deportation flights sending asylum-seekers back to countries such as Haiti, Cameroon and the Democratic Republic of Congo, the organization has mobilized efforts to stop those flights and fight for due process in deportation proceedings.
Seguimos Adelante - https://seguimosadelante.org
Seguimos Adelante is one of the few organizations providing essential supplies and services to asylum-seekers on the Mexican side of the border in Ciudad Juárez, where migrants are stuck, waiting to start or continue their immigration claims at U.S. ports of entry.
Immigrant Families Together - https://immigrantfamiliestogether.com
NYC-based organization dedicated to reuniting and supporting immigrant families separated at the US/Mexico border. Among many services, helps to provide legal representation and transitional housing.
