Uplift Corner
Uplift corner is space to help uplift organizations that are creating resources, offering assistance, and more. Making these resources and providing this education to our communities can be time consuming and un-funded work for a lot of these organizations. As a thank you for providing us these resources, please help us uplift our friends in the Uplift Corner!
Donate to the Legal Support Fund for a UO Student Whose Visa Has Been Revoked
This rapid response fundraiser started when a UO student received notification from DHS and UO that their visa has been revoked. By contributing to this fund, you will support not only this individual student, but also any future students whose visas are targeted by the federal government. This fund is managed currently by UO faculty and staff volunteers. The volunteers are working to support the students whose visa have been revoked in whatever ways possible.
