Immigrant Rights Are Human Rights

RMIAN

Rocky Mountain Immigrant Advocacy Network (RMIAN) knows that immigrants are integral to our communities. They are our neighbors, friends, partners, and colleagues. They are us. Together, we share more joy, we support each other in times of sorrow, and we brighten each other’s daily lives.

Immigrant rights are human rights. RMIAN is here to uphold those rights. We remain firmly against the dehumanization of immigrant communities, and we are more committed than ever to fighting for equal justice for all.

For almost 25 years, RMIAN has tirelessly advocated for people in immigration proceedings who don’t have the right to court-appointed counsel. RMIAN has appeared side-by-side with children who would otherwise be forced to represent themselves in complicated legal proceedings, the outcome of which dictates the direction of the rest of their lives. RMIAN represents individuals unfairly imprisoned in civil immigration detention centers.

RMIAN has provided hope to parents forcibly separated from their children and helped unify families so that they could be together and safe from further harm.

RMIAN provides critical legal support to families in expedited proceedings being propelled through the system without due process. Without RMIAN’s work, individuals would not have access to legal information or any understanding of the process ahead of them.

RMIAN proves time and again that our clients’ civil detention is unconstitutional. We have secured the release of countless detained clients so that they could regain their liberty and return to their loved ones.

RMIAN accompanies people through some of the most challenging times in their lives. Our team helps to make sure people have access to the resources they need to thrive in our community.

In the wake of this election result, RMIAN will continue to be more resolute than ever to protect immigrants’ rights in Colorado and beyond. We will continue to be a stalwart defender of due process and equal access to justice. We will work harder than ever to shine a light on the hidden and harmful world of immigration enforcement and detention, and the profound harm it causes communities.

You are the community that helps RMIAN carry out our mission, and your support is more critical than ever in the face of an uncertain future. Thank you for believing in our work. Thank you for your unwavering support.
