Advocate to return funding to legal orgs representing migrant children

To: Sen. Slotkin, Rep. Barrett, Sen. Peters

From: A verified voter in Lansing, MI

March 22

I am writing as a concerned constituent to express my strong opposition to the recent decision to cancel contracts that provide legal assistance to migrant children. These contracts play a critical role in ensuring that some of the most vulnerable members of our society receive the legal representation they desperately need. Migrant children face complex legal challenges and an uncertain future, and it is our moral obligation to support initiatives that protect their rights and well-being. The cancellation of these contracts undermines the ability of dedicated organizations to offer essential legal support, leaving these young individuals without proper representation in a system that is already difficult to navigate. I urge you to work towards policies that strengthen, rather than weaken, the legal protections for migrant children. By preserving these contracts, we can ensure that every child, regardless of their immigration status, is afforded fair treatment under the law. I respectfully ask that you advocate for the continuation and expansion of services that support migrant children and their families. Thank you for your attention to this critical matter. I look forward to learning how you plan to address these concerns and stand up for the rights of all children in our community.
