About Kids In Need of Defense

Kids In Need of Defense (KIND) is a non-profit organization founded in 2008 by Microsoft and Angelina Jolie to provide pro bono legal representation for unaccompanied immigrant and refugee children in the United States. The organization partners with law firms, corporations, bar associations, and law schools to ensure that no child faces immigration proceedings alone. KIND also advocates for systemic policy changes that protect children's rights and safety while promoting due process and child welfare standards in immigration law.
