Building on more than a decade of work to advance immigrant rights, FIAEB organizes to keep families together and to support their ability to live and work in the region. A key element of this work is to organize forums that connect immigrants to needed services. Thousands of people participate in immigration forums throughout the year in Alameda and Contra Costa counties. Free legal guidance on immigration matters save families hundreds of thousands of dollars.
FIAEB leaders have collaborated with allies to serve over 1,000 immigrants with direct legal services, Know Your Rights trainings, and DACA enrollment. We organized to secure over $2 million in legal and mental health resources to serve unaccompanied minors in Oakland.
