We are honored to be among the legal aid organizations receiving an IOLTA grant this year through the Massachusetts Bar Foundation! This funding directly strengthens our ability to stand by immigrant and refugee families when they need it most. We are thankful to the Mass Bar Foundation for ...investing in this work, and for standing with the communities we serve. @massbarfdn
Devastating news today for the Rian community. Rian Immigrant Center condemns the Supreme Court decision allowing the Department of Homeland Security to proceed with the termination of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for hundreds of thousands of Haitians. Haiti remains in a state of emergency and ...this decision, originating from anti-Black racism and xenophobia, directly puts our neighbors in danger. Haitian TPS-holders are not political pawns. They are parents, students, our dear friends, hospital workers, tending to our elderly, performing essential work of all kinds, and most importantly, community members who only want to live in safety. Though we grieve today's decision, Rian will never stop advocating for the rights and protections of our Haitian neighbors.
