Northern Illinois Justice for Our Neighbors
NIJFON's vision is a world where all immigrants are welcomed, supported and able to live without fear. NIJFON gets closer this vision by providing free legal immigration services and education and advocacy. Racist systems perpetuate the advancement of immigrants by keeping them in poverty, silent and vulnerable. NIJFON works on uplifting immigrants and integrating them into society by providing them their day in court and building a quality of life through just policy and challenging and dismantling racist systems. We fight against harmful legislation that threatens to permanently separate their families, educate and train on the challenges faced with the immigration system, and advocate to increase political will to make needed reforms.

Logan Square Neighborhood Association
Amidst a global pandemic and generations of racialized oppression, LSNA has committed itself to mutual aid (not charity). This has manifested through our parent leaders providing almost 2,000 instances of individual support; providing grants to largely immigrant micro restaurants so they could provide thousands of free meals; and connecting 673 people to $615,500 to date to help with necessities. A Nuestro Futuro COVID-19 Relief grant would provide an additional $17,000 toward our Community Solidarity Fund, enabling us to distribute 34 $500 emergency mini-grants to those impacted by the pandemic (mostly undocumented immigrants who don’t otherwise qualify for support). Another $3,000 would support overhead and management of the Fund.
