Description
Initially working with Keep Tucson Together and The Florence Immigrant and Refugee Rights Project, Dora Rodríguez began volunteering her personal time to provide legal aid to detained immigrants in 2019. Going to detention centers to get information on detainees’ needs, bail amounts, and offer legal support, Dora’s number “spread like wildfire.” With a growing number of correspondents – approximately 100 people – Dora began personal record-keeping to keep track of her communications, financial support sent for bail and commissary, and sponsorships, which is required for individuals to be released. After the onset of the 2020 Covid-19 pandemic, Dora continued her services by phone from her home. This collection includes her personal record-keeping notebook, correspondences, and art.
