Letter from Kathy Doan,
Executive Director
Dear Friend,
To say the least, these are challenging and uncertain times, which reminds
me in some ways of when I began as Executive Director of CAIR Coalition
during the financial crisis and great recession over 10 years ago. However,
I also know that these moments focus us in on what’s important, re-affirm
our beliefs and core values, and force us to double our efforts to achieve
the most good for the greatest number of immigrant men, women and
children as we possibly can.
The 2020 CAIR Coalition Gala will take place virtually on September
23rd. Hundreds of supporters will join us online as we stay “Focused on
Freedom,” which is the theme for this year’s event. If you joined us for our
inaugural gala in 2019, you heard from local and national advocates for
immigrant families, including the Majority Leader of the U.S. House of
Representatives Steny Hoyer and U.S. Congressman Joe Kennedy III.
While the program is still in formation, stay tuned for additional
announcements over the coming days and weeks around our full slate of
honorees and speakers at www.caircoalition.org/event/2020gala.
This gala is more than an event, it is a crucial part of our efforts to provide
top-notch programming and representation to thousands of immigrants in
the Capital region, including those being held in detention, those seeking
asylum and those facing deportation. The demands we face, which have
increased dramatically since 2017, have increased two-fold this year as we
battle the coronavirus pandemic, which has spread to all detention centers
in the area. That is why I hope you will consider joining us as a sponsor of
this year’s gala. Our inaugural event raised almost $500,000 and our
hope this year is to cross this number and deliver a message at the same
time that our work, our daily efforts and our resources will stay focused on
freedom.
As you consider your support, I leave you with this. Only 11% of
detainees without representation end up winning their cases. That’s
where you and I come in. When we stay focused on freedom and when
we provide representation through our dedicated staff and generous
pro bono partners, we win!
On behalf of the entire CAIR Coalition family, thank you for your
consideration of support around this year’s gala. Take care, stay healthy,
and I look forward to celebrating virtually with you in September.
Sincerely,
Kathryn M. Doan

About Us
The Capital Area Immigrants’ Rights (CAIR) Coalition works to keep
immigrant families together and strives to ensure equal justice for all
adults and children at risk of detention and deportation in the Capital
region and beyond through direct legal representation, know your
rights presentations, impact litigation, advocacy and the training of
attorneys to defend immigrants. The pro bono services we provide
are for immigrants from all over the world. We serve everyone from
arriving asylum seekers to long-term residents of the U.S. with strong
family and community ties.
With a 40% increase in detention nationwide in the last year, and the
addition of several new immigration detention facilities in the DC
area, CAIR Coalition has added additional legal staff and expanded our
impact litigation work to North Carolina. Now, with the coronavirus
pandemic, CAIR Coalition is working doubly hard to get high-risk
clients out of detention as quickly as possible.
When you invest in CAIR Coalition, you work with us to provide
dignity to immigrants who would otherwise have no legal
representation. And without legal representation, an immigrant in
deportation proceedings will mostly like lose their case, no matter how
compelling the facts. CAIR Coalition is the only 501c3 non-profit
organization with a legal services program focused exclusively on
assisting immigrants being detained in adult and juvenile immigration
detention centers in the Washington, DC area.

Focused on Freedom
The Capital Area Immigrants’ Rights (CAIR) Coalition works with our
partners to protect the rights, the lives, and the families of immigrants in
the Capital region and beyond. Our annual signature event brings together
several hundred supporters from across DC, Maryland and Virginia
committed to providing justice for immigrant men, women and children
threatened with detention and deportation. The evening provides us with
an opportunity to honor our champions, including our pro bono advocates,
leaders on Capitol Hill, and committed law firms that provide millions
of dollars in pro bono legal services on an annual basis. We are pleased
to invite you to join us for this virtual event, a night of celebration, on
September 23, 2020.
