“When I arrived in the U.S, I had nothing. I was fleeing a country where being myself was treated like a crime. I came with no money, no community, and without speaking English. Immigration equality took my case, believed in me and helped me win asylum. Today, I am a U.S. citizen. I run a business I love, and I live openly as a queer, nonbinary person who gives back to the community that helped me stand up again.” – Al, former client and current board member of Immigration Equality.
