Central Washington Justice for Our Neighbors

A nonprofit organization

$620 raised by 7 donors


Our immigrant communities need your support 
now more than ever. 

In central and eastern Washington, many families live in fear of detention and separation, often with no access to legal help. Central Washington Justice for Our Neighbors (CWJFON) provides free immigration legal services, advocacy, and rapid response support in one of the most under-resourced areas of the state. 

With your help today, we can keep families together, protect civil rights, 
and build safer, more connected communities for everyone.


WHY GIVE

Right now, immigrant communities in our region are living in fear. ICE enforcement is increasing, families are being separated, and many people are avoiding basic activities like school or work. CWJFON is one of the only organizations in this rural “legal desert” offering free legal help and crisis support.


WHAT WE DO

Your support fuels:

  • Legal defense for immigrants at risk of deportation
  • Education campaigns that help people know and use their rights
  • Rapid response teams to support detained community members
  • Statewide advocacy to change unjust immigration policies
  • Community events that build solidarity and power


When immigrant families thrive, our entire community benefits. 
Your support helps create safer, more connected, and resilient communities for all. 


OUR IMPACT

Since 2018, CWJFON has:

  • Provided free legal aid to over 1,000 immigrants
  • Launched a 24/7 hotline to respond to ICE and CBP enforcement
  • Created a $250,000 mutual aid fund
  • Helped community members access $340 million in state relief
  • Prevented deportations and reunited families

ABOUT US

CWJFON is a BIPOC- and immigrant-led nonprofit providing free immigration legal services, education, and advocacy across rural eastern and central Washington.
