About Us

We fight for racial justice, defend immigrant families

Project Relief is a Black immigrant-led mutual aid and racial justice collective based in Maine. Since 2019, we’ve been on the frontlines defending immigrant families from ICE, providing emergency food and shelter, and funding legal support for those detained.

We are not a charity. We are a community of immigrants and allies building power together because no one should face deportation, hunger, or homelessness alone.

Support
When a community member is detained by ICE, we act fast. We use mutual aid funds to pay for immigration lawyers, cover legal fees, and support families through every step of the process. No one faces deportation alone.
care
Safe housing is a human right. We’ve provided homes for dozens of individuals and families especially women and children who were at risk of homelessness or displacement.
Aid

We are immigrants helping immigrants. Our network mobilizes during ICE raids, advocates for policy change, and takes to the streets in solidarity with those targeted by systemic racism.

When institutions fail, community steps in.

Every act of giving—every dollar, every meal, every bed—comes directly from people who care. That’s what makes Project Relief different: we are powered by the people we serve.
