Support Black LGBTQI Immigrants in New York today.

Newly arriving Black LGBTQI+ immigrants are facing overwhelming challenges as they seek refuge and safety in the United States. Many are unable to access critical legal services because they lack legal authorization to work. Even those who manage to find work often face prohibitively expensive legal fees. Pro bono services are scarce, leaving too many without the support they need to file for asylum. As a result, many miss their crucial one-year filing deadline, largely due to indirect discrimination based on their color and nationality.

At the Lighthouse Equality Advocacy Project, we're stepping up to ensure that these vulnerable individuals are not left behind. Our goal is to raise $10,000 to provide as much pro se support as possible. Just $100 can make a significant difference, covering the cost of pro se filing, a metro card, and a hot meal.

Additionally, Black LGBTQI+ immigrants in detention facilities face even harsher realities, struggling to access basic necessities, legal services, and emotional support. Your contribution will help us reach those who need it most, ensuring they have a fighting chance at justice and dignity.
