Dear Friends,

Welcome to the 2017 Safe Haven Awards! Thank you so much for supporting Immigration Equality’s lifesaving work. You are a vital part of the ongoing protections we provide to thousands of LGBTQ and HIV-positive individuals and families each year.

Tonight, we unite to celebrate our victories over the last 12 months, and to recommit ourselves to fighting the battles that are certain to come. Since November, Immigration Equality has been preparing for war with an Administration that has worked from its inception to target our community. The promises that the President made during his campaign to attack immigrants and to undermine LGBTQ and HIV-positive people are now coming to fruition.

On behalf of Immigration Equality’s Board of Directors and staff, I commit every ounce of our substantial will to protecting and supporting immigrants now, and for the next four years. Every day, we will work to uplift, to empower, and to defend our community. It is our mission, our duty, and our passionate promise. 

We could not do this without you. Whether you have supported us financially, provided free legal services to one of our clients, or marched with us in protest, thank you! Because of you, we will always be here to ensure that LGBTQ and HIV-positive immigrants are treated fairly and humanely.

YEAR IN REVIEW

CLIENT SPEAKERS

EDY ESTRADA

Edy is a gay man from Guatemala who fled to the United States in 2009 after years of abuse based on his sexual orientation. In Guatemala, he feared that he would be attacked by the government and by powerful gangs, both of which target LGBTQ people. For two long years after arriving in the United States, Edy lived in constant fear of being deported. Then, in 2011, he found Immigration Equality. Edy fought for asylum for nearly four years, securing safety in 2015. Last year, he obtained his green card. Today, he lives happily in New York and works as a customer service agent at JFK international airport.

SANDY FLOR VIRUEL

Sandy is a transgender woman from Mexico. She fled to the United States in 1995 to escape mistreatment based on her gender identity. For more than a decade, Sandy worked at a non-profit in Staten Island to support other transgender women in need of food, clothing, and shelter. Throughout her time in the U.S., she has mentored many transgender youth and worked as a vocal activist within the trans community. In 2009, Sandy asked Immigration Equality to help her apply for asylum. Two years later, her claim was granted. Today, Sandy continues her work in Staten Island. Her application for U.S. citizenship is currently pending.

MASHA GESSENMasha Gessen is a journalist and the author of ten books of nonfiction, most recently The Future Is History: How Totalitarianism Reclaimed Russia, to be published in October 2017. She is also the author of the national bestseller The Man Without a Face: The Unlikely Rise of Vladimir Putin (2012). She is a contributing opinion writer to The New York Times and a frequent contributor to The New York Review of Books, among other publications. She has received numerous awards, including a 2017 Guggenheim Fellowship, a Carnegie Millennial Fellowship (2015-2016), a Nieman Fellowship (2003-2004), and the 2017 Overseas Press Club Award for Best Commentary. She serves as vice-president of PEN America.

Masha was born in Moscow and immigrated to the U.S. with her family in 1981, at the age of 14. She returned to Moscow as a correspondent ten years later and stayed, becoming a Russian-language journalist in addition to her work for American magazines. She re-immigrated to the U.S. in 2013, after her family was targeted by Putin’s antigay campaign.

Shortly thereafter, Masha approached Immigration Equality for help to secure family reunification benefits for her wife and son to join her in the U.S. Once the immigration petitions were granted, the family reunited in New York.

IMPACT WORK

Today, we find ourselves on the frontlines of a battle for human rights in America. Now more than ever, we must be strategic and creative about how to protect and empower LGBTQ and HIV-positive immigrants.

Immigration Equality provides free legal services to LGBTQ and HIV-positive immigrants living at or below the poverty line. In fact, our legal services program is bigger than ever before. Today, we are directly representing over 680 individuals and families across the United States. At the same time, we give free legal advice to thousands of people every year throughout the United States and abroad.  Together with our pro bono partners, we ensure that families can stay together and that asylum-seekers have a safe place to call home. Even as the Administration increases its attacks on our community, we have maintained a 99% success rate.

Only days after his inauguration, the President announced three remarkably xenophobic Executive Orders. Since then, Immigration Equality has been working around the clock to fight the Orders and to inform LGBTQ and HIV-positive people of the new dangers they face. We are also in close collaboration with key members of Congress who have actively engaged in protecting individual clients, and with former leaders of the Obama administration to develop creative methods to prevent agencies from undoing the progress it took us years to achieve. And, as the current administration targets our community, we are invigorating the press to hold the government accountable and to educate the public on how to stay safe.

Immigration Equality has long been active in appellate courts, and we still are today. In January, members of our Board and staff filed our opposition to the Muslim and Refugee Ban in district court. In April, with the help of Skadden, Arps, we filed an amicus curiae brief in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals describing how the Ban disproportionally hurts LGBTQ families and refugees. Over the course of the next four years, we will continue to identify as many opportunities as we can to ensure the justice of LGBTQ and HIV-positive immigrants in the courts. We must protect basic rights: like the right to counsel, equality for same-sex couples, and liberation for transgender immigrants in deplorable detention conditions.
