A Message From Our Executive Director

Dear IRLC Community,

With the recent election results confirming Donald Trump's victory, we at the Immigrant and Refugee Law Center want to acknowledge the deep concerns and uncertainties this outcome brings, especially for immigrant communities and vulnerable individuals across the country. We know many are feeling anxious, afraid, and uncertain about what lies ahead, and we share in these feelings.

Our mission to protect, support, and empower immigrants and refugees is now more critical than ever. We anticipate significant challenges as policies that affect our communities may become more stringent, and the rhetoric around immigration may become increasingly divisive. But in the face of these challenges, we remain unwavering in our commitment to stand up for the civil and human rights of the most vulnerable members of our society.

Now is the time for us to double down on our efforts. IRLC will continue to provide robust legal support, advocacy, and education to our clients, guiding them through the complexities of the immigration system and standing as a steadfast ally in their fight for justice, security, and belonging. 

We understand the road ahead may be challenging, but we are ready for the fight. With the support of our community, we will persevere, adapt, and continue to serve those who need us most. Our dedication to this mission remains strong, and we are grateful to have you by our side as we move forward.

Thank you for your support, your trust, your solidarity, and your shared commitment to justice. Now more than ever, we need your financial support to continue providing vital services.

We kindly ask you to consider donating to IRLC and standing with us in this important work.

In solidarity,

Mayra Casas Jackson

Executive Director
