Contigo Fund is powering the Immigrant Advocacy & Defense Emergency Fund, a rapid response initiative supporting frontline, grassroots groups across Central Florida — from Brevard to Volusia — that are immigrant-led and queer/trans-centered.
We are investing in the people and organizations doing the real work on the ground — often with the fewest resources and the most at stake.
Contigo Fund is launching the Immigrant Defense Emergency Fund today — This rapid response effort to fund frontline grassroots groups across the Central Florida region (Brevard, Flagler, Indian River, Lake, Orange, Osceola, Polk, Seminole, and Volusia Counties) led by and for queer folks that are driving powerful movements and work to defend the rights of our immigrants siblings.
We need your urgent support to:
🗣️ Drive pro-immigrant campaigns through town halls, rallies, and media events, amplifying the voices of those often silenced.
⚖️Advocate for systemic change, addressing the disproportionate impact of criminalization on queer and trans immigrants and pushing for more inclusive immigration reform.
🤝 Create mutual aid networks that provide operational support for families affected by immigration detention, ensuring they have access to the resources they need.
🛡️Monitor and protect the constitutional rights of marginalized communities, standing firm against racial profiling, xenophobic violence, and abuses to due process, civil liberties, and democracy.
This is not charity.
This is community defense. This is solidarity.
Your gift today is life-changing.
When queer and trans immigrants are detained, they face higher risks of violence, medical neglect, and deportation. Your donation will power rapid response, direct aid, and advocacy efforts to keep our communities safe.
