Keep Families Together
Launched in September 2018 in response to the U.S. government’s “Zero Tolerance” policy, the Vance Center’s Keep Families Together initiative connects Latin American pro bono counsel to assist U.S. immigration lawyers representing children, families, and asylum seekers.
Through its clearinghouse partners in the Pro Bono Network of the Americas, the Vance Center has enlisted 45 pro bono attorneys from 17 law firms in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, India, and Mexico to support the legal representation of over 100 of separated children and families.
