The following are established, trustworthy organizations fighting immigration injustice. Donations to any of them are a great way to make an impact.

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) is focused on defending the rights of immigrant families while advocating for legal immigration services at a national level. ACLU has filed several class action lawsuits challenging the government’s practice of separating families and forcing those seeking asylum out of the country.

Border Angels advocates for a humane and civil immigration process. This organization provides dozens of water jugs along high-traffic migrant paths in the desert. They also provide free and low-cost legal aid in English and Spanish every week at the Sherman Height Community Center.

The Florence Project provides free legal services to detained immigrants in Arizona. An estimated 86% of those detained have no legal representation while going through immigration removal proceedings.

Freedom for Immigrants set up an immigration detention visitation program at 42 detention centers around the country and a national hotline. This organization also manages a national detention bond fund provided to detained immigrants when in need of cash while fighting their immigration cases.

Kids in Need of Defense (KIND) works to provide high quality, pro bono legal representation to children who enter the immigration system alone. This organization interviews and matches children with specially trained attorneys while providing ongoing support throughout the immigration process including medical and social services.

Project Corazon is a travel fund aiming to send lawyers to detention centers to help protect the rights of immigrants and their families. Airline miles can be donated to help fly pro bono attorneys to where they’re needed.

Save the Children is working to deliver immediate humanitarian aid to migrant children and their families. The organization is working to ensure that families have certain necessities such as hygiene kits, diapers, and clothing.
