Help Law Students Aid Immigrants in Mexico

In early June 2025, I will be traveling to Tijuana, Mexico with a group of 10-12 Philadelphia law school students to support asylum seekers at the border. We will spend a week working with Al Otro Lado, an amazing organization founded in 2012 to provide direct legal services to indigent deportees, migrants, and refugees and to protect the familial rights of migrants. We will support Al Otro Lado’s work by preparing asylum applications for asylum seekers, providing "Know Your Rights" training to immigrants and refugees, working at the Deportee Welcome Center, and monitoring human rights conditions at the port of entry. This is our opportunity to be part of the fight for the rights and dignity of all people, especially those brave enough to undertake cross-border immigration.

Please help support this work by donating and sharing our fundraiser broadly. We hope to fundraise enough to cover the cost of air travel, housing, and meals for our team, and to leave Al Otro Lado with at least a $5,000 donation to support its crucial mission.

If you donate and would like to receive information about the trip and our work, please include your email address with your donation, and we will share our post-trip writing and send you a personal note of gratitude for your contribution. We will also provide a full accounting of how the funds were used.
