Humans of ICE is a community storytelling project dedicated to supporting immigrants detained in the Broome County jail. Each week, volunteers organized by Concerned Residents of Greater Binghamton will visit the jail to meet with ICE detainees, listen to their stories, and learn about their needs and goals. Our mission is to connect these individuals and their families with the resources they need, while also sharing their experiences (with their permission) with the wider community to foster understanding and guide advocacy efforts.

The need for this fund is urgent. Many ICE detainees face isolation, language barriers, and a lack of access to basic resources. Our volunteers are committed to providing support in any way we can—whether that means covering the cost of gas for volunteer visits, hiring translators and illustrators to help tell their stories, or securing legal representation for those in need. As we continue our work, we know that new and unexpected needs will arise, and we want to be ready to respond quickly and effectively.

By supporting this fundraiser, you are standing in solidarity with our immigrant neighbors. Your donation will help us meet immediate needs, educate the community, advocate for better policies at the jail, and connect detainees to local resources whenever possible. Mainstream America welcomes immigrants, and together, we can make a meaningful difference in the lives of those impacted by ICE detention.
