- Vermont Immigration Legal Defense Fund surpasses its $1 million goal year after founding
The Vermont Immigration Legal Defense Fund exceeded its $1 million fundraising goal a year after its launch, enabling the state to expand immigration legal defense resources from two to eight lawyers. The fund, supported by donations from Vermonters and across 30 states, has strengthened organizations like the Vermont Asylum Assistance Project, which doubled its asylum seeker caseload and secured legal protections for detained individuals.
