Human Rights Initiative of North Texas, Inc. Promoting international human rights through local service to refugees and immigrants who have suffered human rights abuses. We are regular working people.

http://www.hrionline.org *HRI cannot give legal advice about specific cases over a social media platform.* We are lawyers and social workers, pastors and students. Through a network of dedicated volunteers, Human Rights Initiative helps those who have suffered terrible wrongs at home for worshipping their God. For speaking out against oppression. For being women. We provide legal representation and social services free of charge to those who have fled persecution and arrived in Dallas, Texas with nothing. No family, no friends. No money. And often, very little hope. At Human Rights Initiative, we provide the resources – the hope – these courageous people need to leave their persecutors behind and begin anew.

Earlier this summer, we shared a glimpse of Pedro’s story. Today, we want to share more.
 
When we celebrated Pedro being granted asylum after nearly ten years, we shared only a small part of what brought him to the United States and what it took to reach that moment.
 
Behind that outcome were years of legal representation, a dedicated pro bono partnership, and a client who continued moving forward while waiting for a decision that would shape his future.
 
Pedro’s story offers a closer look at what long term legal representation can mean for someone seeking safety and why sustaining this work matters.
 
As North Texas Giving Day comes to a close, we hope you’ll take a few minutes to read more of Pedro’s story and consider making a gift to help HRI continue this work for clients like him.

Happy Hispanic Heritage Month!
 
From September 15 through October 15, we celebrate the rich cultures, histories, traditions, and contributions of Hispanic and Latino communities.
 
At HRI, we are honored to work alongside individuals and families from across Latin America and to see every day the strength, resilience, and hope they bring to our North Texas community.

We’re working toward our $25,000 goal, and there’s still time to be part of it.

Think you know immigration law? Let’s put that knowledge to the test!
 
Immigration law is complex, and there are plenty of misconceptions about who may qualify for humanitarian legal protections in the United States.
 
As we count down to North Texas Giving Day on September 17, we’re putting your knowledge to the test with five questions about the types of immigration protections at the heart of HRI’s legal work.
 
Swipe through, keep track of your answers, and check the answer key at the end.

Daniel* fled his home in East Africa after being targeted because of his political involvement and ethnicity. He had been imprisoned and tortured, and after his release, a friend who had been detained alongside him was later killed.
 
Returning home was not an option.
 
With support from HRI and a dedicated pro bono attorney, Daniel pursued asylum in the United States. Just last month, after years of uncertainty, his asylum was granted.
 
This North Texas Giving Day, your support helps people like Daniel access the legal representation and resource support they need to pursue greater safety and stability.
