What Your Support Is Driving Right Now: April Update

Our work continues to shift in ways that require both focus and consistency.

Access to legal support for the individuals and families we serve is growing, even as challenges persist. Despite changes in funding, policy, and capacity, we are focused on building more consistent support so people do not have to navigate complex immigration systems alone. Luis’* story reflects how quickly legal representation can be lost when funding shifts and how critical it is to restore it. With consistent representation, he was able to move forward with clarity and direction, something every child deserves.

That same sense of commitment was reflected in Laughs for Legal Aid 2026. We are deeply thankful to everyone who showed up, contributed, and made the evening possible. Your support is helping ensure that children in our Unaccompanied Children Program are not left to face legal proceedings alone.

Across our team, this work continues in many forms. From building long-term pathways in legal careers to contributing to research that reflects the realities our clients face to advocating at the national level, our staff stays committed to strengthening both individual outcomes and broader systems.

We are grateful to everyone who continues to stand with Justice for all Immigrants (JFAI). Your support allows our work to move forward with purpose and reach those who need it most.

We invite you to stay connected, share our work, and continue supporting efforts that expand access to legal representation.

With Gratitude,

Joy Green

Executive Director
