The Border Project Blog

Mabel Center's Border Project is a critical program that deepens our connection to our clients. Mabel Center’s team is in Tijuana this week providing legal assistance to asylum seekers before they cross the border. We are grateful to Al Otro Lado for hosting us, and the incredible work they do in a critical environment, adapting to meet clients’ needs as policies constantly change. Interested in learning more? Sign up to be notified when we hold a lunch and learn in Boston (exact date and location TBD).
