Asylum Seeker Advocacy Project (ASAP)

The Asylum Seeker Advocacy Project (ASAP) sees a future where the United States welcomes individuals fleeing violence. We work alongside our members — more than 500,000 asylum seekers from over 175 countries — to make this vision a reality. Our model has three components: community support, emergency legal aid, and nationwide systemic reform. We work with individuals who have come to the United States seeking asylum, regardless of where they are now located. Our members have traveled thousands of miles and braved dangerous terrain to bring their families to safety. We recognize their strength, and provide them with the tools they need to keep their families safe. We are creative, collaborative, and nonpartisan. And we believe all asylum seekers deserve to find safe haven in the United States.
