RISE. RESIST. WIN.

As threats to immigrant communities intensify, RAICES stands firm. We have a proven, 40-year track record of victory against family separation and injustice.

With your support, we will continue to win.

Invest in our fight for families and defend dignity and due process today.

Our Mission

We deliver legal and social services to people and families who want to put down roots in the U.S.—and cultivate welcoming communities that uphold our collective freedoms.

Our Impact

We pursue justice in courtrooms, Congress, and our community. For 40 years, RAICES has modeled a humane U.S. immigration system through legal aid, social services, and rights advocacy. Without these services, our clients—including children—would be left to defend themselves and their rights alone.
