    Promoting the Dignity of Immigrants with Affordable Legal Expertise

    As it has for more than 30 years, CLINIC will fight for the rights of immigrants. CLINIC trains legal representatives who provide high-quality and affordable immigration legal services. We develop and sustain a network of nonprofit programs that serve close to 500,000 immigrants every year. We cultivate projects that support and defend vulnerable immigrant populations by:

    • providing direct representation for asylum seekers at the U.S.-Mexico border and educating them about their rights; 
    • reuniting formerly separated families;
    • increasing legal representation for those in removal proceedings and in detention;
    • providing public education on immigration law and policies; and
    • advocating for fair and just immigration policies that acknowledge the inherent dignity and value of all people.  

    History has taught us that people who step up can make a difference. We hope you will join us.
