Community. Dignity. Justice.
Mainers for Humane Immigration is a grassroots, all-volunteer nonprofit organization rooted in shared commitment and solidarity alongside immigrants. We believe in the power of collective support to address the impacts of harmful immigration policies and stand with those affected.
We focus on coordinating support for individuals and families navigating detention, court, and other immigration-related challenges so they’re not alone in the process. Our efforts are shaped by the needs we encounter and the relationships we build, grounded in care, trust, and responsiveness.
What We Do
We support people impacted by immigration detention and the families forced to navigate the fallout. What that support looks like depends on the situation. We respond to what’s needed, whether it’s help covering commissary or phone costs, finding out where someone has been transferred, court accompaniment, letter writing through our Paper Bridges program, or simply showing up when others don’t.
This work is about refusing to look away. It’s about having each other’s backs in a system built on silence and separation, and standing in the way of the isolation this system depends on.
