Over these 25 years, HRI has helped thousands of immigrant survivors gain legal protection in the U.S. Founded by social worker Serena Simmons Connelly and lawyer Elizabeth Healy, the Dallas-based Human Rights Initiative of North Texas has grown into an award-winning agency helping immigrant survivors of human rights abuses from all over the world. Our courageous and resilient clients are eligible to apply for legal status under the humanitarian provisions of United States immigration laws and policies: they are asylum seekers fleeing persecution; children who have been abandoned, abused, or neglected; and victims of family violence and violent crimes. HRI’s Legal team partners with a network of over 250 pro bono attorneys from top DFW firms to help clients access the U.S. Immigration System, and ensure immigrant survivors in North Texas have access to quality legal services and resource support to find hope and regained dignity. At HRI, all of our services are free, and all are designed to help forge a path to safety, stability, and opportunity. For more information, www.hrionline.org/get-involved Join us. Stand up.
