WHAT WE DO

ImmigraNT Justice

Working on Behalf of Low-Income Immigrant Communities

Immigrant communities are some of the most vulnerable populations in the Washington, DC area. Newcomers and non-English speakers are often unaware of their rights and protections under U.S. law—or are afraid to exercise those rights due to the threat of being fired or reported to immigration authorities.

We partner with community-based organizations to serve immigrant families. We also represent immigrants experiencing wage theft, sexual harassment, and employment discrimination.

In addition to working directly with immigrant communities, we investigate problems of discrimination and marginalization faced by immigrant communities in the DC area.
