A Note from Our Founder
In our community, 'papers' are everything.
We fight for papers. We work for papers. We present papers to ICE in the hopes of proving our right to stay, to work, and to live without fear. In the immigration system, 'papers' represent more than just documentation—they represent status, security, and the recognition of our humanity by a system that often tries to ignore it.
But a piece of paper can never tell the whole story.
Behind every legal filing, every work permit, and every status is a pulse. A heartbeat. A human being with a family, a history, and a future that no government form can fully capture.
As an immigration attorney and the child of immigrants from Mexico, I see this tension every day. I see the high stakes of the struggle for documentation, but I never lose sight of the person holding the paper.
Defend the dignity. Protect the pulse.
