South Brooklyn Sanctuary

There’s no right to representation in immigration court, and thousands of immigrant families are left to navigate life-changing legal battles alone. Since 2023, South Brooklyn Sanctuary has supported over 3,000 immigrants with "Know Your Rights" education, attorney referrals, and critical help with legal paperwork like work permits and asylum applications.

But with Trump’s second term just weeks away, the stakes have never been higher. His mass deportation plan will devastate our communities. We must act now to protect vulnerable families and defend our Sanctuary City.

South Brooklyn Sanctuary needs to raise $100,000 by January 20th to:

Immigrants across the five boroughs count on us to protect our Sanctuary City. Stand with us in this critical moment. Your support will help ensure we’re ready to meet the challenge.

Donate today—together, we can defend immigrant rights and build a stronger, safer New York.

Thank you for donating to South Brooklyn Sanctuary! We are a grassroots nonprofit that trains volunteers to support recently arrived immigrants in New York City who cannot afford attorneys. Since 2023 we have supported more than 3,000 immigrants with "Know Your Rights" information, attorney referrals, and assistance with essential legal paperwork like work permits and asylum applications. We serve immigrants throughout the five boroughs.

Why is our work essential? There is no right to representation in immigration court, private attorneys are prohibitively expensive, and many nonprofits have closed their waiting lists. Nearly 60% of immigrants are fighting their cases alone, without an attorney.

Our work is all the more urgent in the face of Trump's second term as president. We will continue to empower the community with anti-deportation and family separation education and continue to help immigrants get on the pathway to citizenship.
