Amid intense debate at local, state and national levels over immigration policy
and accelerating deportation rates, overstretched immigration legal service providers
and other advocates struggle to serve millions of low-income immigrants.
One resource they increasingly turn to is the Immigration Advocates Network
(IAN), a collaborative project of 11 leading immigrants’ rights organizations and
Pro Bono Net. The IAN site, www.immigrationadvocates.org, offers advocates
access to more than 5,000 substantive resources and trainings on a wide range
of immigration law and policy topics and encourages information sharing and
networking among those working toward the common goal of increased access to
justice for low-income immigrants
