Tip of the Month
Do you know that the MIRA Coalition has launched an immigration helpline for service PROVIDERS? This helpline number is open to all Massachusetts-based PROVIDERS serving immigrants and refugees and accepts voicemails 24/7 at (508) 293-1871 or for expedited service the online intake form (do NOT disclose any client-specific information in messages).
Through this helpline, MIRA aims to provide community-based organizations with answers to the most commonly asked legal questions.
How does it work?
- This helpline operates as a non-emergency service.
- The MIRA Helpline staff will review voicemailsto assess urgency, directing urgent inquiries to our Staff Attorney for immediate response.
- If a caller seeks resources, these will be sent via email.
- For all other matters requiring an attorney’s response, the Helpline staff will arrange a callback and provide further instructions.
- For expedited service, providers are encouraged to fill out the online intake form. Once the form is submitted, providers don’t need to call the helpline, the team will reach out to them with a response to their inquiry.
