We can do better for asylum seekers. You can help. Join the fight to defend asylum & save lives. Impact the lives of thousands of asylum seekers and their children by supporting emergency humanitarian needs and advocacy for humane policy. ​ Every day, asylum seekers arrive on the U.S./Mexico border in search of protection. These people from all over the world have sacrificed everything to flee their countries escaping violence, torture, and persecution. Their journeys are arduous, and although the process to claim asylum requires them to cross into the United States first, American border policy is constantly changing and many asylum seekers exhaust their resources while attempting to identify the legal process. ​ These are complex problems, but they can be solved. You can be part of the solution. Borderlands Resource Initiative is a 501(c)3 non-profit charitable organization funded and empowered by our generous supporters and frontline partners.
