High-Impact Grant Proposal
Stand Together Contra Costa: Public and Private Funding, $4,500,000
On behalf of a coalition of community activists and advocates, we designed Stand Together Contra Costa, a rapid-response deportation defense initiative for residents at risk of wrongful deportation. A partnership of public and private funders, the Public Defender’s Office, and community-based organizations, Stand Together Contra Costa provides culturally competent, no-cost rapid response support, legal defense services and clinics, and immigrant rights education and training to support families impacted by anti-immigrant policies and practices.
