New York City is currently welcoming immigrants and asylum seekers seeking safety and security in the United States. One of our partners in the Unaccompanied Children Program, Project Rousseau, is at the forefront of the response. Project Rousseau is providing free full-scope legal representation for over 270 individuals and has provided non-legal support to over 1000 new arrivals. We're proud to work with an organization that is stepping up to such an urgent need.

The immigration system is designed to keep unaccompanied immigrant kids out of the country, denying their legal and human rights. That's why we're recruiting and training lawyers just like you to bridge this inhumane gap in justice. Visit https://lnkd.in/e_zdxEcu to find out more.
