“We set up a million dollar legal defense fund in Seattle specifically designed for anyone in deportation proceedings to access legal services. We had to fight the narrative of a ‘good vs bad’ immigrant”

“So the only requirements to access this fund is to live or work in Seattle and be in deportation proceedings. We do not ask about criminal record to prevent us from furthering the narrative of good vs bad immigrant”
