Approximately 113,000 refugees have pending green card applications. Instead of processing them, the administration is freezing applications, subjecting refugees to mass re-vetting, and making it easier to terminate their status. We're going to court to fight for safety, stability, and due process!

Congrats Sh. Taha, we're so thrilled to see you honored by our friends at Casa Cornelia and we're here to join in on the fun to celebrate you. Your kindness, dedication, and unwavering support make our San Diego community a better place for all of us! Mabrook.

10 years. One unbreakable story of community power. For the past few months, we revisited the milestones: launching our legal defense program, winning tenant protections with #RightToARoof, protecting our democracy, building a youth-powered civic engagement infrastructure...

A safe apartment after fleeing violence. A bus pass to get to work. A funeral for a loved one. A phone to stay connected. For 10 years, PANA’s mutual aid has turned community care into collective resilience.

Every great story needs a defense against those who would try to write its ending. For a decade, PANA has been that defense, ensuring our community has the power to fight for our rights and our future.
