But addressing the growing unmet need for immigrant legal defense in Vermont depends on their capacity to grow. Recognizing that Vermont lacks a full safety net to support its immigrant community, State Treasurer Mike Pieciak and Senator Kesha Ram Hinsdale are working in their personal capacities with trusted colleagues to launch a $1,000,000 fundraising campaign to strengthen immigration legal defense in Vermont.
The Vermont Immigration Legal Defense Fund, in partnership with the United Way of Northwest Vermont, aims to resource organizations providing sustained support for practicing immigration attorneys and advocates, ranging from technical assistance for pro bono lawyers to capacity-building for paralegals and intake specialists.
Our mission is to ensure that every individual—regardless of where they come from—has access to the quality-assured legal support necessary to protect their rights and seek a better future. Legal representation makes immigrants in removal proceedings exponentially more likely to assert and prevail in their claims, and a legally stabilized immigrant workforce makes Vermont's population more likely to grow and thrive in the long term.
Your support is vital. Every dollar you give helps provide legal defense, advocacy, and hope. Stand with us.
Stand for our future. Stand for justice. If you or someone you know needs immigration legal support, contact the Vermont Asylum Assistance Project: https://www.

Vermont has attorneys ready to step up and provide pro bono immigration defense—but they need training and support. With the right resources, we can turn willingness into real protection for vulnerable families. Professional Paralegal Support Our funds will go directly toward trained attorneys, intake staff, and paralegals—essential frontline support to help protect immigrants and ensure no one navigates the system alone.
