The National Partnership for New Americans (NPNA) together with the Vera Institute of Justice are launching a campaign to push for legislation that establishes a universal right to federally funded legal representation for anyone facing deportation: Fairness to Freedom.
Our vision is a system in which all people whose life, liberty, or ties to the community are at risk in the immigration system have access to quality and independent legal representation.
By establishing universal representation, we will not only help bring fairness to our immigration system but also create a future where people can fight their deportations from their community, with the support of their families and loved ones, free of detention or surveillance.
