Dear Friends, Partners, and Supporters,
Some moments remind us why our work must endure. The quiet pride in a client’s voice as she says, “I am an American now.” The shared laughter between colleagues after a long day of helping others find safety. The steady belief that change, even when slow, is still possible.
This month, we are holding space for both hope and hardship. We celebrate the courage of those like Marina, who prove that determination has no age limit. At the same time, we also face a shifting immigration landscape that continues to test the strength of our communities.
Through it all, our commitment remains the same: to walk beside every person seeking justice, dignity, and belonging. That’s the promise we carry forward, together, with compassion, courage, and conviction.
With Gratitude,
Joy Green
Executive Director
