As President Trump continues to enact harmful policies that detrimentally impact the immigrant members of our communities, coming together to support one another is more important than ever. In this spirit, below are some state-level organizations that you can stay connected with in order to provide tangible support to your immigrant neighbors–or that you can find support from yourself. Additionally, we have provided some nationwide organizations and resources to help keep you and your community informed, safe, and connected to support.

We highly encourage you to look for other local mutual aid groups and organizations in your area geared towards Latinx, Asian, Middle Eastern, African, and Caribbean communities. While Win Without War will continue to work hard to keep our network informed on some of the worst actions being taken against immigrant communities, connecting with local groups is the best way to stay updated on what is going on in your community and how you can help–whether that be through donating food and basic necessities, volunteering to help run know-your-rights trainings, or more.
