Rights Advocacy
From the courtrooms to the halls of Congress, RAICES fights for systemic change, recognizing the power of the collective.
We hold ourselves accountable to the people that we serve. Our fight has never been about who is in political power. It has always been to defend, empower, and advocate for the communities we represent.
Together, we can ensure every person has the right to seek asylum and call this country home.
-
Impact Litigation
Our impact litigation seeks to secure restitution for clients who have faced unlawful harm while in U.S. government custody, defend access to counsel rights, and establish humane safeguards for immigrants, refugees, and asylum seekers.
-
Creative Partnerships
RAICES looks to the arts to spark conversations around immigration, justice, and humanity in order to touch hearts and minds, and ultimately impact immigration policies and practices.
-
Narrative Change
We believe the law is downstream from culture. Storytelling — or uplifting the voices of those who are most impacted by our immigration system — can move the hearts and minds of the American public in support of urgent action to fix our nation’s broken immigration system.

Community Engagement
While we can’t all be first responders, everyone can play a role in supporting community members by volunteering and asking friends and families to contribute to our cause.
