Fairness to Freedom

Fairness
to Freedom

the Campaign for Universal Representation

The Vera Institute of Justice and the National Partnership for New Americans (NPNA) are launching a campaign to push for legislation that establishes a universal right to federally funded legal representation for anyone facing deportation.

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.

Rally.
Advocate.
Legislate.

Join us for a virtual launch rally and demand that Congress ACT NOW to ensure every person whose life, liberty, and community ties are at risk in the immigration system is fully seen, heard, and represented in court.

Mike Centano

The U.S. immigration system is impossible to navigate without assistance.

Join us to ensure every person facing detention and deportation is fully seen, heard, and represented.
