PRESS RELEASES
The End SIJS Backlog Coalition aims to center the voices and experiences of SIJS backlog impacted youth, whose stories are the heartbeat of our work and best illustrate how ending the backlog can restore the purpose of the statute — realizing permanent legal protection in the United States for immigrant children who have survived abuse, abandonment and neglect.
To request to be connected with an impacted youth, to speak to a legal expert, or to be added to our media list for updates, please contact: Arianna Rosales (arosales@nipnlg.org)
