Over the past two years, the Asylum Seeker Advocacy Project (ASAP) has grown into the largest membership of asylum seekers in the world—over 400,000 people seeking asylum in the United States are now working together as members of ASAP, receiving the legal information they need while building the future they want.

But we are serving our members with a small staff of less than 20—and on a tight budget.

Now, we need your help to send critical communications to 400,000+ asylum seekers. ASAP’s communications—breaking immigration news, educational legal resources, referrals to community services, and opportunities for collective advocacy—are trusted and reliable sources of high-quality information for asylum seekers.

In the past year alone, we’ve let members know:

When and how to apply for special immigration relief, helping members from Afghanistan, Haiti, and Ukraine to receive emergency status;
How to join member-led litigation or media campaigns, engaging thousands of asylum seekers in the fight for access to the workforce; and
How to take advantage of members’ collective wins and work legally in the U.S. after waiting months or years for a work permit.

It costs us one dollar per member, per year, to deliver this information to asylum seekers across the country. We’re hoping that at least half of this vital work will be sustained by you, our supporters and partners.

Will you give today, and help keep asylum seekers informed, engaged, and connected? Every dollar you give will sustain our communications with one member—and will be matched up to a total of $200,000.

We’d be so grateful for your support, and we hope you’ll join our members in building a more welcoming United States!
