Mountain Dreamers received the Recognition & Accreditation (R&A) Program from the Department of Justice.

Every day, families in our mountain communities live with the fear of family separation. When a loved one is detained by ICE or faces deportation, the consequences ripple far beyond the individual; children lose parents, employers lose trusted workers, and our community loses neighbors and friends. Mountain Dreamers’ Legal Defense Fund exists to make sure no one faces this system alone. With your support, we can provide emergency legal assistance, connect families to trusted immigration attorneys, and advocate for fair treatment and due process. Your contribution helps keep families together, strengthens our community, and ensures that justice is not only for those who can afford it.

Mountain Dreamers provides financial support for low-income immigrants facing deportation so they can hire qualified immigration attorneys to represent them in court. In our immigration court system, if a person cannot afford a lawyer, one is not provided, unlike in the criminal justice system.

Your support helps us fund immigration legal defense, DACA applications, and driver’s licenses; advocate for citizenship and inclusion; and educate, inform, and inspire others to build a community where every family belongs.
