Justice for Migrant Families Fundraiser

As families across the United States prepare to be together, ICE has left more than thirty people at the side of the road at a gas station in rural Western New York with nothing but the clothes on their back. They have no access to phones, appropriate clothing for the winter weather, food, money, limited or no English proficiency, and few transportation options. What should be a moment of joy and relief soon turns into a moment of yet more adversity and dehumanization.


Justice for Migrant Families (JFMF) has joined forces with Batavia volunteers to make sure that every person we find is reunited with family and community and has support in the final leg of their arduous journey. We have been able to help two hundred people this year alone. 


Donate today to keep this vital work going! 


What has transpired over the past week is a microcosm of the work that Justice for Migrant Families has done over the past 5 years. 


Since its founding in 2016 in response to the largest workplace raid under the Obama administration, JFMF has been able to respond to these urgent situations while also building out an on the ground, daily presence in Buffalo and Western New York. We continue to balance this direct support with organizing, advocacy and education. 

We are holding this campaign in the hopes that we will be able to raise $50,000 altogether for our programs to celebrate our fifth year and to continue on with our work. 

It’s because of YOUR financial investment in JFMF that we can continue to fight for justice and equity for all immigrants in our community, regardless of immigration status or country of origin. 


In love, struggle, and solidarity,


Justice for Migrant Families
