African Advocacy Network (AAN)
African Advocacy Network (AAN) is a newly formed San Francisco-based group of immigrants, activists, and allies charged with serving the Bay Area community of African and Afro-Caribbean immigrants and refugees through culturally competent social services. The mission of the African Advocacy Network (AAN) is to provide African and Afro-Caribbean immigrants and refugees of the Bay Area with the tools that they need to lead independent, productive, and dignified lives and to become contributing members of the Bay Area Community. The AAN provides all of its services free of charge.
SOCIAL JUSTICE
The AAN is committed to the basic belief that every immigrant has dignity and protection under the law. To that degree, our agency stays active in a host of conferences, empowerment activities, and networking with other civil rights and immigrant rights groups. AAN processes legal cases ranging from naturalization, work authorization, to family unification. It has particular experience in preparing asylum applicants for the process. AAN consistently supports and advocates for just immigration policy designed to advance opportunities for immigrants and refugees. AAN is a proud member of the 13 member coalition of the San Francisco Immigrant Legal and Education Network (SFILEN). AAN actively refers clients that face challenging immigration issues to lawyers who provide pro-bono and affordable legal services, especially within SFILEN.
