******************************************************************************************

Immigrant-Led organizations are leading the asylum seeker response in Maine, working on the front lines with the individuals and families currently being housed in the Portland Expo, in municipal shelters, in local hotels, and arriving in Sanford, Brunswick, and other cities statewide.

These organizations are in need of immediate resources to continue providing asylees with the essential direct services that support their physical, social, legal, and economic survival.

By donating to the Immigrant-Led Organizations (ILO) Fund, you:

• Demonstrate your support for the human right to asylum
• Empower community leaders and organizations with lived experience of immigration
• Take part in creating a more welcoming and equitable Maine
