Rise Up for Immigrants: $5k for Immigrant Justice

Donation protected
Something atrocious is happening and we believe we can do something about it together. The federal administration is committing acts of dehumanization and violence against immigrants. Innocent people are being abducted off the streets by plainclothes masked men, cut off from their loved ones and imprisoned for unknown periods of time without due process. Some are even being disappeared to prisons in other countries where there are reports of torture.

This is not about safety. Since October, less than 10% of those taken into ICE custody have had serious criminal convictions. We’re even hearing of U.S. citizen children—some with life-threatening illnesses—being deported. Meanwhile, organizations that support immigrant communities are under attack, underfunded, and overwhelmed.

History has shown us what happens when people look the other way during moments of injustice. We don’t want to be among those who stayed silent.

That’s why we’re setting a goal: raise $5,000 to support immigrant rights organizations doing life-saving work.

We ask that you please take this moment to help us reach our fundraising goal for the following organizations:
  • No Mas Muertes (No More Deaths): provides humanitarian aid to immigrants and refugees near the U.S./Mexico border and documents abuse of people in Border Patrol custody
  • Detention Watch Network: supports local organizations to shut down immigration detention centers and organizes against anti-immigrant legislation
  • Immigrant Legal Resource Center: provides immigration legal trainings, educational materials, and engages in advocacy and immigrant civic engagement to advance immigrant rights

You can donate to our fundraiser here and we will split the donations equally among these three groups.

With your support, these organizations will have more resources to provide immigrant families with life-saving supplies at the border, power campaigns to shut down cruel detention centers, and equip immigrants with the legal advice they need to exercise their rights.

In addition to donating, we can amplify our reach if everyone sends this to five people.

Thank you for standing with us. Thank you for considering donating. Immigrants make America great and they deserve dignity, safety, and justice.
