Emergency Funding for Releases from Batavia

Our advocacy around immigration detention is working, thanks to those who are currently detained who have taken action to bring attention to the poor conditions within the Buffalo Federal Detention Center, as well as those who have taken action to amplify messages! 

Now, we need help to raise funds to support  releases from the Buffalo Federal Detention Facility in Batavia, NY. Batavia has begun releasing people from immigration detention where they are dropped off at a gas station with very little resources to secure basic needs.  People need funds for temporary housing, transportation, phones, and food. We are coordinating with our regional partners Los Samaritanos to make sure that people released have their needs met!  

Over the past few weeks we have seen a dramatic increase in the amount of people released from immigration detention and need to raise funds to make sure that people will be able to have their basic needs met!  As of today, March 11, Justice for Migrant Families, Los Samaritanos, and many people coming together to help, we have been able to support and assist 26 releases! 

We need your help for these releases and near future releases, so please share and donate!
