The National Immigration Project

We are a membership organization of attorneys, advocates, and community members who are driven by the belief that all people should be treated with dignity, live freely, and flourish. 

Who We Are

For more than 50 years, the National Immigration Project has litigated, advocated, educated, and built bridges across movements to ensure that those most impacted by the immigration and criminal systems are uplifted and supported.
