Many of us feel an anger that is impossible to bottle up right now, seeing our neighbors, family, friends, and city targeted by immigration officials, in what is supposed to be a proud nation of immigrants.
If you feel the pain, remember: You are not alone. Neither are you powerless.
Many great organizations are working hard to defend the rights, dignity, and well-being of immigrants, refugees, and the undocumented. People who, like many of us or our families, come to this country and make it a better, stronger place as they seek a better life.
If you have the means to support those fighting for their rights financially, here are 26 non-profit organizations that advocate for the rights, dignity, and well-being of immigrants and undocumented individuals. And by extension of the work immigrants do, and the innovations immigrants bring, bolster and defend the economy and the lifeblood of the U.S.
Additionally, we have a spreadsheet compiled by a friend of L.A. TACO, Nancy Correa, which details even more organizations here at home and across the country that advocate for the rights of immigrants. They need our help more than ever right now.
