2026-11-07 18:00 - 22:00 | JW Marriott Marquis in Downtown Miami., 255 Biscayne Blvd, Miami, Florida, 33131, United States
2026 marks Americans for Immigrant Justice’s thirty-year anniversary. For three decades, we have defended immigrants, refugees, and their families, ensuring that the promise of justice is not a distant dream, but a lived reality. From the beginning, our work has only been possible due to the generosity of our donors and partners. On the evening of November 7th, 2026, Miami’s top leaders in the legal, business, civic, and philanthropic sectors will gather to celebrate every case won, every life rebuilt, every voice empowered; each reflects our shared belief in the enduring value of human dignity, justice, and hope. Over the last 30 years we have developed and committed to the vision to help build an American society true to its ideals and best traditions, one where newly arrived immigrants are extended due process and fairness, where the United States stands as an oasis of freedom and justice for all, and where immigration is recognized not only as a link to our past but as a bridge to our shared future. Our vision has been a guide for us in our work and will serve as our compass as we move forward into the future. Our clients’ resilience strengthens our resolve and reminds us every day why this work is so important. Americans for immigrant Justice invites you to help kick off our next chapter.
