About the Immigration Project

The Immigration Project is the principal provider of non-profit immigration legal services in central and southern Illinois, and the only downstate nonprofit with dedicated immigration attorneys on staff. Our organization provides high quality, low-cost legal assistance and information to immigrants and their families across the 86 Illinois counties south of I-80.

Description

Help fund important legal services for immigrants across downstate Illinois!

During this time of legal changes and social tensions, our services are needed more than ever. Most of our clients can not afford private attorneys, and unlike criminal court, immigration court does not guarantee the right to counsel or provide public defenders. For many of our clients, we are their only means of legal representation, and right now there are far more immigrants who need our help than our staff can represent. Your support will help us extend our services to more clients, as well as improve language access for clients who speak of languages other than English and Spanish.
