As the largest provider of asylum legal help in the Upper Midwest, The Advocates is on the frontlines of defending human rights amid escalating threats. Federal and international law guarantee the right to seek asylum, yet recent executive actions have dismantled these protections, blocking access at the border and claiming authority to strip individuals of their right to a fair hearing. These attacks have created an unprecedented crisis.
The Advocates is meeting the moment. We are mobilizing hundreds of volunteer legal professionals and immigration court observers to ensure access to immigration justice. We are innovating to get legal information to people when and where they need it. And we are providing legal help in thousands of cases so that people seeking asylum, trafficking survivors, unaccompanied children, and people detained by ICE have their right to protection and safety respected.
Stand with asylum seekers. Defend human rights. Give now.
