Westminster, Colorado, October 10, 2024—Rocky Mountain Immigrant Advocacy Network (RMIAN) strongly condemns the hateful and dishonest political rhetoric calling for mass deportations in our community. For the last twenty-five years, RMIAN has been a stalwart and trusted provider of legal services at the immigration detention center in Aurora, while simultaneously representing children and families in immigration proceedings in Colorado.

“Immigration detention and deportation operate in a hidden world. Every day, RMIAN’s attorneys, social workers, and advocates work alongside our clients, and see the deep pain of family separation, the dire and sometimes deadly consequences of medical neglect for people in immigration detention, and the egregious lack of due process for everyone in deportation proceedings. Expanding these harmful systems would devastate our community and our country,” says Mekela Goehring, Executive Director at RMIAN.

In celebration of National Pro Bono Week (October 20-26), we are thrilled to announce a series of daily Lunch & Learn sessions from 12-1 p.m. These live CLE accredited sessions will be held in-person at various locations and offer virtual participation options for all members of the legal community.

The Vice President of Programs is a new position at RMIAN, an exciting opportunity to shape the vision, strategy, and management of successful immigrant advocacy programming that has experienced significant growth in scale and scope. The Vice President of Programs will guide and coordinate the functional experts directing the Detention, Children’s, Social Work, and Advocacy & Litigation programs. As a member of the executive leadership team, the Vice President of Programs works to ensure the organization’s day-to-day services, mission, and vision are reflected in the critical client-centered legal and social services RMIAN offers to detained immigrant adults and immigrant youth.

RMIAN has an immediate opening for a full-time Accounting Clerk. This position will report to RMIAN’s Vice President of Finance and will work closely with other members of the finance team. The accountant will be responsible for an array of accounting and finance duties including, but not limited to, managing monthly close procedure and day-to-day transactional processing of Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivables.
