About the Program

On Day 1, the Trump Administration issued a series of Executive Orders and memos aimed at immigrants. These orders have targeted the right to seek protection in the U.S., access to legal counsel for immigrants facing removal, and even birthright citizenship -- undermining the fundamental protections that all Americans rely upon.

Join VECINA and We The Action for an overview of what these changes mean, and how pro bono attorneys can join the nationwide efforts to stand in solidarity with immigrants by protecting the immigration system and the rule of law in the U.S.

We The Action is a community of nonprofit organizations and volunteer lawyers working to expand access to justice and deliver free legal services where they are critically needed. wetheaction.org

At VECINA, we envision a society that offers safety, dignity, and justice to all, regardless of immigration status. Our mission is to respond to immigrants' humanitarian legal needs by equipping immigration justice advocates and immigrants with the tools they need to navigate the complexities of the U.S. immigration system. vecina.org
