Bus Fares for Just Released ICE Detainees
Tax deductible
First Friends of NJ & NY needs your help. We are a small nonprofit organization that runs the largest and oldest detention visitation program visiting ICE detainees in 4 NJ jails. While we visit hundreds of detained immigrants annually, we also pick up just-released friends at jail parking lots and temporarily house them until reuniting them with family members across the USA.
Our challenge is that recent changes in immigration laws have increased the number of immigrants released from jails with nowhere to go and with family members far away. First Friends is spending thousands of dollars per month buying Greyhound bus tickets and providing released friends with cash for travel expenses to reunite them with family members across the USA.
We need your support to help pay for bus tickets and travel expenses. Bus tickets run from $200-$600 per ticket, so we need to raise $12,000 to cover transportation costs for the rest of 2019.
