This month, stateless stories are making national headlines. From the Boston Globe to the New York Times, our community’s struggles—and courage—are finally being seen. These stories remind us why our work is so urgent.
The Boston Globe recently highlighted the realities of statelessness in the U.S., featuring our Staff Attorney, Samantha Sitterley, and the work of United Stateless. The article sheds light on the legal limbo faced by over 200,000 people, underscoring why permanent protections like the Stateless Protection Act are critical. We are proud to see our community’s voice represented in such a powerful piece.
The New York Times investigation into Florida’s “Alligator Alcatraz” detention camp exposed chaotic and inhumane conditions. Our member, Rick, courageously shared his experience, describing the dehumanizing reality of life inside this facility. His story is a reminder of why our legal team is a lifeline for stateless people—advocating for their dignity and freedom every single day.
