Support the right to a lawyer in immigration proceedings.
Every year, hundreds of thousands of immigrants face deportation alone, without an attorney.
Whether they are elderly, children, unable to read or write, understand limited English, have a cognitive disability or have been severely traumatized, people do not have a right to an attorney in immigration proceedings. They cannot navigate this system on their own. Yet they routinely appear in court against a trained government lawyer and are ordered deported without knowing whether they have a strong claim to asylum, permanent residence or United States citizenship, or how to establish their rights.
As we fight to dismantle the racist, unfair immigration system, join us in signing a petition to guarantee immigrants in the US the right to counsel in deportation proceedings. Our families and communities are stronger, safer and healthier when we come together and stand up for those most in need.
Join us: Sign this petition to demand that the United States provide a right to counsel in immigration proceedings.
