Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

PHOENIX LEGAL ACTION NETWORK (PLAN) WORKS IN SOLIDARITY WITH OUR LOCAL IMMIGRANT COMMUNITY TO REIMAGINE JUSTICE IN ARIZONA. WE REIMAGINE IMMIGRANT JUSTICE THROUGH OUR FREE LEGAL SERVICES AND STORYTELLING WORK.

  • Legal Services: The current legal system fails to provide equitable access to justice. To bend this system in favor of those who need it most, PLAN provides life-changing legal support in immigration matters to vulnerable, non-detained, low-income immigrants in Maricopa County, Arizona. In 2024, with just two staff members, we provided free legal representation to 49 low income immigrants in our community. Five of our community members won permanent legal status, four won temporary status, and five more are no longer at immediate risk of deportation because we got their court proceedings terminated. Additionally, we conducted quarterly community legal clinics and hosted a monthly Spanish language legal course for local immigrants leaders.

    Expenses $131,677 · Revenue $32,448

  • The story of immigration as told by mainstream media and government institutions often demonizes and others immigrants creating hostility against immigrant communities. PLAN creates opportunities for immigrants to tell their stories because a better understanding of people's personal experiences leads to policies that center humanity over hate. We launched an immigrant storytelling workshop series for five local immigrants (including three receiving legal support from PLAN) which culminated in a live, bilingual storytelling event and a digital archiving of their stories on our website at planphx.org/stories. We also hosted an immigrant art gallery featuring four immigrant artists (4) and three immigrant live performers as well as a bilingual parents and kids art activity.

    Expenses $73,999 · Revenue $3,971

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
