KIND Annual Report 2015 6 Creative Partnerships

Winning a Landmark Case in New Jersey Matt Boxer, Partner at Lowenstein Sandler LLP in New Jersey represented KIND, American Friends Service Committee, and the Young Center for Immigrant Children’s Rights, at the New Jersey State Supreme Court to ensure legal protections are upheld for abused, abandoned, and neglected immigrant and refugee children in New Jersey. On August 25, 2015, the court unanimously supported these protections, and by doing so, reversed a disturbing trend throughout New Jersey denying access to justice to this uniquely vulnerable population of children based on misplaced concerns that New Jersey state courts were making immigration determinations. The decision also sends a message to state courts across the U.S. that the protection of immigrant children’s welfare is paramount. Attorneys at Lowenstein Sandler LLP, including Catherine Weiss, partner and chair of the pro bono committee, Natalie Kraner, pro bono counsel, and associates Eric Jesse and Kathryn Pearson, worked tirelessly to ensure the outcome of this decision.

“This case represented an opportunity to help hundreds, if not thousands, of kids who have been abused, abandoned, or neglected by a parent to help them have their cases heard by the federal government.” – Matt Boxer, Partner, Lowenstein Sandler LLP

“4 by the 4th” Campaign Helps Nearly 50 Children Gain Representation In the summer of 2015, KIND launched our first ever “4 by the 4th” campaign to encourage law firms and corporations to take on four new children’s cases by July 4th. All across the U.S., our partners stepped up and met this challenge. Some far exceeded it. Thanks to Nutter McClennen & Fish LLP, EMC Corporation, Pierce Atwood LLP, Holland & Knight LLP, O’Melveny & Myers LLP, Milbank LLP, Paul Hastings LLP, Wyndham Worldwide, Microsoft Corporation, Perkins Coie LLP, and Troutman Sanders LLP, nearly 50 additional children gained attorneys, and a fair chance to make their case in immigration court.

KIND Annual Report 2015 7 Protecting Children in Returning Girls Central America and Mexico Returning girls face unique challenges and have different needs than boys. KIND continues to expand its child protection work in Central For example, repatriated girls are more America and Mexico. KIND’s Guatemalan Child Return and Reintegration Project (GCRRP) helps children returning to frequently stigmatized than repatriated Guatemala from the United States do so safely and assists, through boys based on the assumption that our local nongovernmental organization partners, children with family they were raped or had sex during the reunification, skills training, education, medical services, and migration journey. Girls also face more counseling. In addition to GCRRP, KIND is working to advance sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) programming and improve access challenges re-enrolling in school than to the Central American Minors (CAM) resettlement program. KIND boys because of gender norms that also works to connect civil society in Central America to U.S. policy prioritize marriage over education for makers so U.S. officials have a better understanding of conditions in girls. KIND’s partners on the ground these countries and can make more informed policy decisions. provide services tailored to these needs. Guatemalan Child Return and Reintegration Project KIND created a gender working group in Guatemala, comprised of our GCRRP partner organizations, the goals of which are to:  further develop the capacity of our partners to identify and respond to the needs of returning girls and child survivors of sexual and gender-based violence;  develop and deliver sexual and gender-based violence prevention programming; and  engage in local advocacy to promote protection.

With KIND’s GCRRP partner El Colectivo Vida Digna, Guatemalan youth came together to learn how they can—and why they should— work to improve Guatemalan government and society. Since the program became operational in 2011, 140 children have participated in the GCRRP, and of these, 80 percent have remained in Guatemala. Of the clients who have returned to Guatemala since January 2015, none have re-migrated. KIND has used our unique KIND partners with local nongovernmental organizations that work in the Guatemalan highlands, the source of the majority of child access to information about migration from Guatemala, and are culturally competent to work with the entire repatriation process indigenous children, fluent in the most common indigenous languages for unaccompanied children spoken in communities with high migration rates, and have experience and the challenges within with youth and migrants. These partners, which include Colectivo Vida it to advocate for needed Digna and Pop No’J, provide intensive case management, home visits, changes to make the return educational support, employment/career support and development, process more child friendly. support accessing the health system, and youth empowerment workshops, and activities.

Trainings and Outreach KIND participated in initial trainings of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) refugee officers on interviewing Central American children and educating them on the protection risks these children face, which are still not widely understood, as evidenced by low refugee grant rates. KIND trained Honduran and Guatemalan consular officials located in the U.S., Mexico, and Guatemala on a range of issues including identifying children’s protection needs, the U.S. child migration system, due process rights of migrants, and forms of immigration relief for unaccompanied children in the U.S. KIND’s regional team presented at the Regional Conference on Migration in Mexico City; our work was also featured in the best practices forum.

“For all of your efforts in standing with children who need you in these courts, for all of your efforts in advocating and helping us not make a grievous mistake in turning our back on these children and doing it under the color of a law that was named after a great abolitionist and fighter against human trafficking, I wanted to be here tonight to say thank you.” —Senator Tim Kaine

KIND Annual Report 2015 10 Celebrating Washington State’s Protection of Children Alone

Washington State’s extraordinary response to last year’s unaccompanied child emergency was featured at an event at the Seattle Art Museum where over 150 supporters gathered to hear Washington State Attorney General Bob Ferguson and Microsoft President and Chief Legal Officer, Brad Smith, who is also KIND’s co-founder and board chair, speak about these efforts to protect vulnerable children. Attorney General Ferguson talked about how, in the midst of unprecedented numbers of children coming to Washington State in 2014 to seek safety, he supported children’s access to counsel in their deportation proceedings, and joined with KIND to launch a Task Force on Unaccompanied Children in Washington State.

The evening also featured a clip from the documentary film La Prenda (The Pawn) which documents the breakdown in the rule of law in Guatemala and the violence that has resulted, particularly as it affects young women. One of the young women featured in the film, Astrid, fled to safety in the US and was matched by KIND with a pro bono attorney who helped her win asylum. The director of the film, Jean-Cosme Delaloye, shared his experiences in making the film. The audience voiced their appreciation of Astrid’s strength and willingness to tell her story.

KIND Annual Report 2015 11 The KIND Experience

he most humbling and profound lesson learned has been how little effort it “T takes to make an enormous impact on unaccompanied children. In my very first meeting with my very first client, I explained who I was, the role of the lawyer, confidentiality, tried to joke about how he could fire me at any time, the process of a Special Immigrant Juvenile Status case, where he was in that process, next steps, what legal permanent residency could mean for his future, and immigration policy. At the end, he looked up at me and said, “you mean, you will walk in first, in front of me, when we have to go to court? You will tell me where to stand?” Those two questions sat me back in my chair. That was it. If I was nothing more than a band leader, a marshal of facts, if I was nothing more than a microphone, it was going to make a world of difference to him. While we all strive for perfection and legal brilliance all that mattered to him was that I was there. This moment continues to drive me to take on as many cases as possible and to encourage others to do the same.” – Alexandra Hess Hughes Hubbard & Reed LLP

or me it was the draw of doing pro bono work at large but also this “F human rights issue. They have nowhere to go and they are forced to leave their homeland alone and to come here – without someone to represent them they could very easily be sent back.” –  Mary Bortscheller Associate, Cohen Milstein Sellers & Toll

hat resonates most for me is the fact that without KIND and the pro “W bono assistance it secures from volunteer attorneys, more children would be forced to face our legal system alone and without representation. This should be, and for many of us is, simply unacceptable in our society today. We all have a responsibility to protect those who cannot protect themselves.” – Kurt Hansson Global Vice Chairman, Litigation, Paul Hastings, and KIND Board Member

KIND pro bono attorneys work directly with child clients to help them build their cases, gain valuable courtroom experience, learn new skills, develop expertise in a unique area of law, and can change the course of a child’s life.
