Today, on Giving Tuesday, we’re inviting everyone who believes in SWIRC’s mission to take one simple, powerful step: invest in the next 10 years of justice.
This year is especially meaningful. We’re celebrating a milestone that you helped create — a full decade of showing up for neighbors seeking safety, stability, and dignity. And we’re honoring the 25,000 people who trusted SWIRC to help them navigate some of the most important moments in their lives.
But Giving Tuesday isn’t about looking back. It’s about asking: What kind of impact do we want the next decade to have?
The need for accessible legal services has never been greater. Families are navigating increasingly complex immigration processes. Workers and renters are facing new forms of instability. Newly arrived neighbors need guidance to keep their families safe and to build futures here.
Your Giving Tuesday donation fuels the work that meets those needs — not in theory, but every single day:
- It keeps legal help free or low-cost for families who need our help.
- It protects due process so that lack of money never means lack of justice.
- It expands our capacity so we can take on more cases and reach more people across Detroit and beyond.
- It directly strengthens families, stabilizes communities, and turns fear into opportunity.
When you give to SWIRC, you aren’t giving to an abstract idea of justice. You’re giving to the people who walk through our doors tomorrow morning.
The 10×25k Drive — Your Gift Moves Us Forward
To honor 10 years and 25,000 clients served, we’ve launched the 10×25k Drive to raise $250,000 by December 31. It’s an ambitious target — and that’s exactly why we need Giving Tuesday. Every donation today moves us measurably closer to that $250k goal. Every donation tells a client, “You matter. We’re here for you.”
If SWIRC’s mission resonates with you, today is the most impactful day of the year to give. Your Giving Tuesday gift ensures that SWIRC enters its second decade stronger, more resilient, and more ready than ever to meet the needs of our community. Together, we can build the next decade of justice — one client, one family, one act of generosity at a time.
