An Evening for Mabel Center for Immigrant Justice

Join us at our annual event celebrating the accomplishments of our immigrant community and those that work to support them. Mabel Center provides full legal representation to clients seeking asylum, along with handling cases for pro se applications, employment authorization documents (EAD), special immigrant juveniles (SIJs), and Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) cases. Funds raised support all of Mabel Center for Immigrant Justice’s programming that annually reaches over 500 asylum-seekers on their path to citizenship:

-Pro Se Clinic Many asylum-seekers are unaware that they must file their asylum application within one year of arrival and one missed court date or filing deadline can trigger an automatic order of deportation, returning women and children to the persecution they fled. Through its Pro Se Clinic, Mabel Center attorneys and paralegals provide guidance for clients that represent themselves without an attorney.

-Full Legal Representation for asylum-seekers with complex cases that existing legal services organizations are unable to accept due to the time commitment required. Many asylum-seekers in Boston are unable to find pro bono attorneys with the capacity to accept cases that involve unsettled precedent, or clients who have been detained, because these cases require immense time and resources.

-Consulting provided to partner organizations that supplement their services and offer legal expertise.
