Write to a friend in detention!

Detention is an isolating experience; our letters offer hope to people who often feel alone and forgotten.

Make a donation.

A key part of the Cartas de Paz program involves sending $25 money orders to the immigrants we know in detention. Each time we receive the name of a detained immigrant who would like to receive letters, we send them an introductory letter and a $25 money order.

This enables our detained friends to make phone calls to the outside world and purchase items from the commissaries where they are detained.
