Our May 2021 give away the plate recipient is Louisiana Advocates for Immigrants in Detention (LA-AID).
Under the Biden administration, immigrants are being released from detention centers around the state just about every day so they can join family members around the nation as they await adjudication of their asylum claims.
LA-AID has been helping to house and feed them temporarily along with transporting them to their destinations. Funds are used to buy plane and bus tickets, food, hotel rooms, clothing and other necessities along with reimbursing those who have stepped up to provide those things.
LA-AID is a volunteer organization dedicated to the abolition of immigrant detention.
