Moving from harm to hope

“In these times, when immigrant rights are imperiled, it is a source of encouragement and hope to know that organizations like the National Immigrant Justice Center are at the forefront of ensuring protections for the most vulnerable.”

---Mary Robinson, Director of Ethical Globalization Institute, former President of Ireland, and former UN High Commissioner for Human Rights

 

“Illinois is leading the country in ensuring that human rights are part of the American Dream. I am a proud supporter of the National Immigrant Justice Center’s efforts to serve the heartland while promoting immigrant rights from coast to coast.”


---U.S. Senator Richard Durbin (D-IL)

 

“As a survivor of human rights abuses in my home country, I recognize the need for access to justice. I commend the National Immigrant Justice Center for being a beacon for vulnerable refugees and asylum seekers in the United States today.”

---Juan Mendez, Director of International Center for Transitional Justice

 

 

“Every day I get letters and calls from immigrant women and mothers seeking protection from persecution. I'm proud to refer them to a leading immigrant rights and legal services agency right here in my home state. The National Immigrant Justice Center is paving the way to a better life for immigrant women and families.”

---U.S. Representative Jan Schakowsky (D-IL, 9th District)
