Mission
Pangea's mission is to provide deportation defense services, advocate for policy change, and provide education and legal empowerment for our immigrant communities.
Program accomplishments
- Direct Legal Representation: In 2025, Pangea has proudly represented 380 people in complex immigration matters. This includes asylum, family petitions, permanent residency, cancellation of removal and immigrant visas. Weve also offered more than 100 free legal consultations consisting of individualized legal advice, Know Your Rights orientations, and referrals. ANAR Launched a multilingual monthly community education webinar series with over 1,500 unique attendees. Held 4 workshops with volunteer attorneys providing free assistance to asylum, adjustment of status, and work authorization applicants. Organized community outreach efforts across California.Expenses $1,845,788 · revenue $87,094
- Education and Legal Empowerment: In 2025, Pangea worked to resource and protect communities. Pangea continues to provide free consultations, monthly asylum Know Your Rights workshops, Healing Justice workshops, and Pro bono clinics. Pangea also successfully launched our hybrid Employment Authorization Document (EAD) clinic for asylum seekers. With the assistance of pro bono attorney attorney teams from Morrison Foerster (MoFo), we successfully prepared 60 EAD applications for Bay Area residents. In 2025, Pangea continues to hold a central role in Rapid Response Coverage around the Bay Area. We provide coverage across San Francisco, San Mateo, and Santa Clara counties. This year, Pangea also stepped further into a leadership role regionally. We have helped coordinate the expansion of rapid response networks around the Bay Area, from recruiting and training new partner organizations to join the ranks of emergency legal responders, to training community members to serve community responder volunteers and dispatches, to convening strategy conversations within and across our networks. In partnership with Mission Action, Pangea helps ALEP workshop participants, who do not have attorneys, gather evidence and prepare for their immigration court hearings. In 2025, 2 families who attended the ALEP workshops won their asylum cases. From January through March 2025, FREE SF hosted an in-person fellowship for eight SF immigrant community members as part of our Sanctuary Voices program The fellowship built participants advocacy skills and supported them with resources to change narratives about public safety issues in San Francisco. In March 2025, FREE SF and San Francisco Immigrant Legal & Education Network (SFILEN) partnered together to give an educational workshop on San Franciscos sanctuary policy as part of the solution to public safety, and a know-your-right presentation to San Francisco Supervisors staff and other city hall staff. The majority of attendees were new staff who wanted to share resources to their constituents. We used this as an opportunity to educate new staff on the criminalization of immigrant communities.Expenses $266,910 · grants $14,760 · revenue $6,233
- Policy Advocacy: In May 2025, FREE SF resourced Indivisible SF to create their call to action urging District Attorney Jenkins to end her collusion with federal agencies that have fast-tracked immigrants into ICE detention and deportation. This was the first time that Indivisible SF meaningfully engaged with this campaign. FREE SF met frequently with Indivisible SF, ultimately inviting them to join FREE SF as a partner in our work to disentangle law enforcement from ICE and other federal agencies targeting immigrant communities.Expenses $1,253
