Organizations supporting the rights of immigrants and refugees:

(For more suggestions see https://www.bustle.com/p/9-immigration-organizations-to-donate-to-if-you-want-to-support-daca-recipients-80757.)

National Immigration Law Center: Established in 1979, the National Immigration Law Center (NILC) is one of the leading organizations in the U.S. exclusively dedicated to defending and advancing the rights of low-income immigrants.

National Immigration Forum: The National Immigration Forum is one of the leading immigrant advocacy organizations in the country, with a mission to advocate for the value of immigrants and immigration to the nation.

New York Immigration Coalition: The New York Immigration Coalition aims to achieve a fairer and more just society that values the contributions of immigrants and extends opportunity to all. The NYIC promotes immigrants' full civic participation, fosters their leadership, and provides a unified voice and a vehicle for collective action for New York's diverse immigrant communities.

Arab American Family Support Center (New York City): The Arab-American Family Support Center is a 501(c)3 non-profit, non-sectarian organization that provides culturally and linguistically sensitive services to immigrant communities throughout New York City.

Action NYC: ActionNYC connects New Yorkers to free, safe immigration legal help. You can make an appointment to learn your immigration legal options and get immigration application assistance. There are ActionNYC sites in all five boroughs. Appointments are required. Your appointment will be in your language.

Immigration Equality is the leading LGBTQ immigrant rights organization in the country. It provide s advice and legal services to thousands of LGBTQ and HIV-positive immigrants seeking refuge, fair treatment, and freedom in the United States. The work is truly lifesaving because there are nearly 80 countries around the world where it is a crime to be LGBTQ, with consequences up to and including the death penalty. For this reason, Immigration Equality fights to obtain asylum in the United States for LGBTQ and HIV-positive refugees - with a remarkable 99% win rate.

International Refugee Assistance Project: The International Refugee Assistance Project (IRAP) organizes law students and lawyers to develop and enforce a set of legal and human rights for refugees and displaced persons. Mobilizing direct legal aid and systemic policy advocacy, IRAP serves the world’s most persecuted individuals and empowers the next generation of human rights leaders.

International Rescue Committee: The International Rescue Committee responds to the world’s worst humanitarian crises and helps people whose lives and livelihoods are shattered by conflict and disaster to survive, recover, and gain control of their future.

Kids in Need of Defense (KIND): KIND serves as the leading organization for the protection of children who enter the US immigration system alone and strives to ensure that no such child appears in immigration court without representation. We achieve fundamental fairness through high-quality legal representation and by advancing the child's best interests, safety and well-being.

Asian American Legal Defense and Education Fund (AALDEF): AALDEF is a national organization that protects and promotes the civil rights of Asian Americans by combining litigation, advocacy, education, and community organizing. Issues / focus include immigrant rights, civic participation and voting rights, economic justice for workers, language access to services, educational equity, housing and environmental justice, and the elimination of anti-Asian violence, police misconduct, and human trafficking.

Make the Road New York (MRNY): MRNY builds the power of Latino and working class communities to achieve dignity and justice through organizing, policy innovation, transformative education, and survival services.

Make the Road New Jersey (MRNJ): Make the Road New Jersey builds the power of immigrant and working class communities in New Jersey to achieve dignity and justice through community organizing, legal and support services, transformative education and policy innovation.

Kate's STILL mad at me 21+ years later for not going with this awesome Turkish scholar and activist in the Kurdish oppression who was really into me. But I had already fallen for Kate and was waiting for her to lose her loser BF. But Asja was a super, super cool person who taught me a ton about what was going on with the Kurds.

That's wild, Handy. The mother of my most recent ex was engaged to Tim Curry in the 60s. My only claim to fame is that John Kennedy Toole (Confederacy of Dunces) was my mom's English prof.

was reading earlier that in addition to the Solstice (which some sources state is tomorrow, June 21st?), there are a boatload of planets in retrograde -- Venus, Mercury, Saturn, Jupiter, and Pluto -- and on Monday evening, Neptune retrogrades: "leaves us floating in a haze, which is pleasant in a hammock, and tough when we''re trying to accomplish anything new." -- oh joy! :)

Handy: Yeah it was a real event in the house (and NOLA in general) when it came out. Oh, and when my mom was JKT's student, Walker Percy's daughter was her roommate at Dominican College (now part of Loyola).

Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:33pm
Handy Haversack:

Mariano, I may have mentioned that my dad was a waiter? The dean of women and English at Agnes Scott College (in Atlanta) would always bring the Southern writing stars (Walker Percy, Eudora Welty, etc.) to his restaurant for dinner since she knew he could talk lit with them. She ended up teaching a class at my high school, and it was the one time my dad was like, "I don't like to tell you what to do much, but if you don't take her class, we're going to have to talk about why."
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:36pm
mariano:

Haha! I'm afraid that's as thick or fascinating as the plot gets. They assigned dorm rooms by last name at Dominican. Still, I always envied my mom's being college-age in New Orleans in the 60s. Oh, and she lived for a bit in the same French Quarter apartment building as Jim Garrison (aka Kevin Costner in JFK).

Oh wow, Handy, that's cool! You should write a bio of your dad, sounds like a fascinating guy. Eudora Welty was the writer in residence at Sewanee, where I went my freshman year. Never saw her though, but as you can guess Sewanee English classes were full of O'Connor, Faulkner, the Percys, etc.
Avatar 🌍 8:49pm
slugluv1313:

@ Handy -- yes! you have all these cool Dad stories -- have you ever considered writing about him?
@ mariano -- again, feeling clueless! i had no idea that Toole was barely into his 30s when he committed suicide -- and he was a huge fan of Flannery O'Connor too :)
i am intrigued by The Neon Bible, will get that too when the library can do inter-library loans

Yeah slugluv, apparently he suffered from some serious mental issues towards the end. He was known for being dapper and impeccably groomed but gradually got more and more disheveled, became paranoid, missed classes. He was supposed to have been an amazing lecturer.
