AYRT—I realize that just because you help people with their asylum claims (thanks for the work you do, btw; we don’t often agree on fandom stuff but your real-life job is awesome) doesn’t mean you know the answer to this, but is there anything random US citizens can do aside from protest, donate money to immigrant rights/legal aid, and call their representatives?

I’ve heard awful stuff about doctors and nurses and teachers wanting to volunteer their time to help migrant kids and getting turned away, and the assumption was that ICE doesn’t want people who are mandatory reporters in their day jobs, and have other jobs so they can’t be threatened with firing if they blab, anywhere near the poor kids. If they were doing the right thing, they wouldn’t be afraid of whistleblowers.

But I can’t, say, start a book, toy, or clothes drive for the nearest child dentention center or anything, right?

I suck at phone calls, don’t have much spare cash, and I’m terrified of being arrested (after one of the protests I went to, some of the protestors went to the nearest dentention center and chained themselves to the gates and were arrested. I admire their bravery, but I’m a wuss) but I want to help in more ways than just answering questions online and waving a sugn a couple times a year.

As a lawyer I'm biased, but honestly donating to legal aid is one of the best ways to help given that most of them can't afford representation and that statistics show that representation makes a huge difference in even getting their cases heard. But there are also organizations that do things like meet immigrants at bus stations and give them basics (blankets, toothbrush, soap, things like that).

There are organizations that look for volunteers to do all sorts of things.

Write to your state government representatives. Get others to do the same.

Honestly even just talking about it and raising awareness is helpful.
