Sur Legal Collaborative Sur Legal Collaborative (Sur) is an immigrant & worker rights non-profit organization based in ATL Hello Facebook,

Welcome to our page!

Sur Legal Collaborative (SUR) is an immigrant and worker rights non-profit organization based in Atlanta, Georgia. We provide education and legal support to communities, grassroots groups, and legal advocates to promote an end to (1) labor abuses against workers; (2) ICE detention and illegal deportations; and (3) the prison industrial complex and the police state. Founded by attorneys with expert

ise in immigration, appellate, and labor law, Sur uses legal tools to support movements and campaigns led by immigrants and workers. Immigrants in Georgia face some of the harshest immigration policies, toughest immigration courts, and worst detention centers in the country. Furthermore, immigrants are among the most vulnerable workers in the country, often working in hazardous industries run by unethical employers. Covid has exacerbated and exposed many of these issues, but federal oversight has declined. Though imperfect, labor laws can empower immigrant and low-income workers to overcome the culture of fear and gain access to the rights and justice to which they are entitled.

Hola Facebook,

Bienvenidos a nuestra pagina! Sur Legal Collaborative (Sur) es una organización de derechos de inmigrantes y trabajadores sin fines de lucro con sede en Atlanta, Georgia. Sur utiliza la defensa, la educación y el litigio para construir el poder de los grupos de base que trabajan para poner fin a: (1) Abusos laborales contra los trabajadores; (2) Detención de ICE y deportaciones; (3) El complejo industrial penitenciario y el estado policial. Fundada por abogados con experiencia en inmigración, apelación y derecho laboral, Sur utiliza herramientas legales para apoyar movimientos y campañas liderados por inmigrantes y trabajadores. Los inmigrantes en Georgia enfrentan algunas de las políticas de inmigración más duras, los tribunales de inmigración más duros y los peores centros de detención del país. Además, los inmigrantes se encuentran entre los trabajadores más vulnerables del país, a menudo trabajando en industrias peligrosas dirigidas por empleadores poco éticos. Covid ha exacerbado y expuesto muchos de estos problemas, pero la supervisión federal ha disminuido. Aunque imperfectas, las leyes laborales pueden empoderar a los trabajadores inmigrantes y de bajos ingresos para superar la cultura del miedo y obtener acceso a los derechos y la justicia a los que tienen derecho.

Today, we commemorate Juneteenth, the day the Emancipation Proclamation was finally enforced on June 19, 1865, ending chattel slavery in the Confederate South.

We honor the Black abolitionists who fought tirelessly for freedom and the generations of Black leaders, workers, and organizers who continue the fight for liberation, dignity, and justice.

As an organization committed to immigrant and worker rights, we recognize that many of the systems that endanger Black workers today are rooted in the legacy of slavery and systemic oppression. On Juneteenth, we reaffirm our commitment to dismantling those barriers, advancing safe and equitable workplaces, remaining rooted in abolitionist ideals, and standing alongside Black workers demanding the protections, respect, and opportunities they deserve.

Today, we celebrate freedom, resilience, and the ongoing work to build a more just future for all.

Thank you for standing with workers in Georgia—for safety, dignity, and justice 👷👩‍🌾👨‍🍳🍑

Sur Legal Collaborative’s Worker Leaders Solidarity Fund is be a standing, ongoing fund that centers resourcing and empowering workers from high-hazard, low-wage industries in ways that are directly responsive to their needs.

With summer heating up, we are attuned to heat stress and heat-related illness increasing, and the focus of our next campaign for the WLS Fund will be to raise money to be able to provide the workers we’re in community with some heat-stress emergency kits. Please remain on the lookout for information about how to support that work in the coming months! Support today at the link in our bio 🩷📢

Today we’re building heat stress and cold prevention safety kits for poultry processing workers 🧡

Poultry workers face extreme heat AND extreme cold, sometimes in the same shift. Heat can cause cramps, exhaustion, even death. Cold can cause hypothermia, frostbite, and is just as deadly. No one should have to risk their life to do their job.

Each kit includes a reusable water bottle, electrolytes, cooling towels, thermal blankets, hand warmers, thermal socks, first aid supplies, and just as important, a Know Your Rights card from OSHA and an NCOSH Heat Justice magnet so every worker knows their rights and how to report unsafe conditions.

This was made possible by our Worker Solidarity Fund, built by community, for workers.

Creemos que los trabajadores que reciben a los visitantes, preparan comidas, limpian las instalaciones, transportan pasajeros y mantienen Atlanta en movimiento merecen participar de los beneficios de la Copa Mundial. Este debería ser un momento de celebración para todos; para que todos estén plenamente incluidos, significa que quienes realizan algunos de los trabajos más ingratas y difíciles de la Copa Mundial deben, como mínimo, estar seguros y ser tratados con justicia y respeto.

Hoy se disputó el partido inaugural entre España y Cabo Verde en el Estadio de Atlanta. Con la llegada de la FIFA a Atlanta, nos solidarizamos con los trabajadores inmigrantes y todos los trabajadores que luchan por la dignidad, la seguridad y la justicia en el trabajo ⚽️📢

We believe the workers who welcome visitors, prepare meals, clean facilities, drive passengers, and keep Atlanta moving deserve to share in the benefits of the World Cup. This should be a moment of celebration for all; for us to fully include all, means that those who bear some of its most thankless, difficult work are at a minimum safe and treated with fairness and respect.

Today was the opening match between Spain and Cape Verde at the Atlanta Stadium. As FIFA comes to ATL, we stand with immigrant workers and all workers fighting for dignity, safety, and justice on the job ⚽️📢

Grateful to We Rise for giving us the opportunity to screen the film “Sin Sombra, Sin Descanso” to our worker base and highlight the experiences of workers who have suffered with lacking protections from extreme heat.

Events like these help us open dialogue with workers directly, hear their stories, share worker safety resources, and more us closer toward practical solutions that benefit all workers regardless of immigration status 💜☀️

Our team was honored to join community members, workers, organizers, and advocates in Savannah for an incredible and important rally raising our voices about workers’ rights, organized by Migrant Equity Southeast ().

During the program, we spoke about the importance of standing alongside immigrant workers and strengthening the collective power of working people. Immigrant workers are essential to our communities and economy, and protecting their rights strengthens protections for all workers.

We also highlighted the significance of Deferred Action for Labor Enforcement (DALE), a policy won through years of advocacy that provides temporary protection for immigrant workers who come forward to report workplace violations and cooperate with labor investigations. These protections help ensure that workers can seek justice without fear of retaliation or deportation, and we are proud to be invested in providing popular education and legal services to at-risk workers in some of the most precarious working environments.
