Stop Deportations: Fund an Immigration Lawyer Today

Tax deductible
There’s no right to representation in immigration court, and thousands of immigrant families are left to navigate life-changing legal battles alone. Since 2023, South Brooklyn Sanctuary has supported over 3,000 immigrants with "Know Your Rights" education, attorney referrals, and critical help with legal paperwork like work permits and asylum applications.

But with Trump’s second term just weeks away, the stakes have never been higher. His mass deportation plan will devastate our communities. We must act now to protect vulnerable families and defend our Sanctuary City.

South Brooklyn Sanctuary needs to raise $100,000 by January 20th to:

  • Hire a full-time immigration attorney immediately to provide urgent legal defense
  • Train more volunteers to expand our reach and impact
  • Rapidly scale up "Know Your Rights" education across NYC

Immigrants across the five boroughs count on us to protect our Sanctuary City. Stand with us in this critical moment. Your support will help ensure we’re ready to meet the challenge.

South Brooklyn Sanctuary is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, and all contributions to this GoFundMe are tax-deductible. To send a check, contact us through our website: southbrooklynsanctuary.org.

Donate today—together, we can defend immigrant rights and build a stronger, safer New York.
