Mission Statement
In coordination with our partners in the field, Acacia fights for the right to legal defense for all immigrants at risk of detention or deportation and cultivates the conditions required to realize that right. In so doing, Acacia advances innovative frameworks within our national community of advocates that support and champion the legal rights of all immigrants.
Our Vision
Acacia envisions a nation with a transformed immigration system that embodies freedom from detention, due process, and equal protection, where every person facing the prospect of exile and community separation has access to meaningful legal defense.
About
The Acacia Center for Justice is a non-profit, non-governmental organization that supports and partners with a national network of human rights defenders who provide legal defense to immigrants at risk of detention or deportation.
Acacia fights for access to legal defense for all immigrants at risk of detention or deportation, regardless of age, ability, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, nationality, race, the perceived strength of a case, previous interaction with the criminal system, or any other factor.
