Writers for Migrant Justice was launched in order to support the groundwork being done by Immigrant Families Together. We are raising money in order to support detained and formerly detained migrants.
Donations made on this gofundmepage are tax-deductible.
HOW DONATIONS WILL BE USED:
- Pay bonds to release detained migrants.
- Legal and relocation costs for related detained migrants.
- Supporting our partners on the border with their critical needs.
- Operating costs to cover emerging needs and infrastructure.
- Acute needs such as medical, food and transportation costs, clothing, blankets, car seats and diapers for families who have been released, and temporary housing stipends for refugees who have just been released from detention and have no family in the U.S.
Immigrant Families Together (IFT) was founded in June 2018 in response to the inhumane immigration policy separating families at the U.S./Mexico border. They pay bonds for parents in detention and work to reunite them with their children. Additionally, they support over 100 reunited families as they recover from their detention trauma and adjust to life in the U.S. while their asylum cases are adjudicated. All of the IFT volunteers are working pro-bono. Thus, ALL of your funds will go directly to rapid response needs. This New York Times article "How Regular Americans Can Help Reunite Migrant Families " says more about the impact of IFT and why we love them.
