Support Legal Aid's
Immigration Work

We need your help to expand our immigration team.

Legal Aid DC helps eligible clients secure or preserve their immigration status, with a focus on humanitarian programs that protect survivors of domestic violence and human trafficking. 

This work is more critical than ever as DC's immigrant communities have been targeted, intimidated, and arrested without warrant. With access to a lawyer, immigrant residents can better protect themselves and their families' futures in the District.

Every $350 raised staffs an immigration attorney for one day.

Thank you for your support! 

 

Legal Aid Client

Our Impact

Legal Aid DC client Farhana immigrated to the United States from Bangladesh after being pressured into an arranged marriage that quickly turned abusive. Legal Aid helped her obtain a protection order, a divorce, her own health insurance, and U.S. citizenship. Now, she is working as a case manager at a domestic violence organization where she supports other survivors.
