Overview
Mission
Laredo alliance is a Texas nonprofit organization led by immigrants and allies dedicated to advocating for immigrant rights. This commitment is realized through community engagement, education, research and organizing efforts. Our mission is to establish a safe and welcoming environment for immigrants and their families, while also offering resources and support to individuals and families impacted by immigration related challenges.
What it reported doing in 2024
Community education and outreach: lia offers a variety of interactive from informing the public about their civil rights and liberties, mental health sessions and supporting first generation students on college pathways. Additionally, we co-host workshops with immigration attorneys & other partners on topics that impact the immigrant community. This year our community education workshops offered families the opportunity to learn the necessary skills to become active participants in their own lives, as they are led by professional and trained facilitators who provided resources and support that have helped them become informed and empowered. Legal resources and deferred action for childhood arrivals (daca) pro se support: lia supports daca recipients by keeping them informed about daca- related developments, including, but not limited to, court proceedings and policy changes. Moreover, we offer free daca renewal clinics in collaboration with attorneys and organizations, and provide financial assistance to cover renewal costs for those in need. To empower the community, we encourage daca recipients to independently complete their renewal process to alleviate the burden of hefty legal services fees, and offer them complimentary one-on-one document review assistance. Some program accomplishments are increased awareness, empowerment, community building, community resilience, and more successful daca renewals.
