ABOUT SOMOS INDIVISIBLE
Somos Indivisible (SÍ) exists because we believe that the right to a safe and healthy life has no borders. Our goal is to connect immigrants in need with free or low cost legal, mental health, and casework services in a holistic, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive manner, and—as often as possible—in a language that is familiar.
SÍ’s services are provided by volunteers as an act of solidarity to the community. All our services are free.
