At VECINA, we believe our shared humanity transcends borders.
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.
We envision a society that offers safety, dignity, and justice to all, regardless of immigration status.
The Need
Immigrants are facing one of the most difficult times in our nation’s history, so it’s more important than ever that immigrant justice advocates fight on behalf of immigrants’ rights. Immigrant justice advocates are battling fierce opposition, fatigue, and a constantly-changing legal and policy landscape.
Many attorneys are looking for ways to help but don’t have the tools necessary to provide effective representation. VECINA has expert mentors and training attorneys ready to equip pro bono attorneys, legal practitioners, and other volunteers with the necessary knowledge and skills to provide zealous advocacy.
