October 21st through October 25th is National Pro Bono Week, and we are celebrating the pro bono attorneys, organizations and volunteers who made a world of difference for our clients in 2024! 

This year, we celebrated 35 years of impact. With your help, we served over 25,000 people last year. We thank all our pro bono partners for sharing their talent and time to assist people pursuing justice, dignity, and freedom from immigration detention. We enjoyed honoring them last week at our annual Pro Bono Appreciation Event. Check out the photo gallery of the festivities here!

This year’s award winners are:  

  • Juan Carlos Flamand, Esq., Fragomen – Children’s Program Pro Bono Attorney of the Year 
  • National Immigration Litigation Alliance (NILA)  Special Partnership Award 
  • Aisha K. Nanyanzi, Esq., AKN Immigration Adult Program Pro Bono Attorney of the Year  
  • Ruzanna Mirzoyan, Esq.  Volunteer of the Year 

We’ve been paying tribute to our pro bono honorees on our Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn accounts all week. Everything we have been able to achieve thanks to our pro bono partners fills us with great pride and gratitude. 

Thank you to our generous sponsors, who made the Pro Bono Appreciation Event possible:
