Seeking Justice With Our Clients
We advocate for and provide free or low-cost legal services to people of every race, nationality, religion, age, gender, and sexual orientation who have come to the United States seeking freedom, safety, and opportunity.
Our Mission
Immigration Law & Justice New York welcomes immigrants into our communities with compassion, dignity, and love by providing free, high-quality immigration legal services, offering education to communities of faith and the public, and engaging in advocacy for immigrants’ rights.
Hospitality
“Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by doing so, some people have entertained angels without knowing it.” (Hebrews 13:2)
At Justice for Our Neighbors, we embrace the model of biblical hospitality. Each of our NY JFON legal clinics is an opportunity for local congregations to “open their doors” with a safe, warm, and hospitable welcome for newcomers in their midst.
The beloved community of hope does not only include the sojourners in our midst. At NY JFON, we strive to build community between the vulnerable immigrants who need our help and the volunteers who seek to be welcoming. Through our ministry of hospitality, we seek mutual transformation.
The ILJ Impact
In the past 10 years alone, we have collectively helped nearly 40,000 immigrants and their families from around the world reunite, escape violence, obtain work authorization and become naturalized U.S. citizens.
