About us
Sur Legal Collaborative (SUR) is an immigrant and worker rights non-profit organization based in Atlanta, Georgia. Sur provides education and legal support to communities, grassroots groups, and legal advocates to promote an end to (1) labor abuses against workers; (2) ICE detention and illegal deportations; and (3) the prison industrial complex and the police state. Founded by attorneys with expertise in immigration, appellate, and labor law, Sur uses legal tools to support movements and campaigns led by immigrants and workers. Immigrants in Georgia face some of the harshest immigration policies, toughest immigration courts, and worst detention centers in the country. Furthermore, immigrants are among the most vulnerable workers in the country, often working in hazardous industries run by unethical employers. Covid has exacerbated and exposed many of these issues, but federal oversight has declined. Though imperfect, labor laws can empower immigrant and low-income workers to overcome the culture of fear and gain access to the rights and justice to which they are entitled. The ultimate goal of Sur’s work is to democratize legal knowledge so that immigrant and working-class communities are empowered with the resources necessary to advocate for their rights and continue to lead us in the struggle for a more just society.

NEW: Because all workers deserve a safe workplace, a variety of national and state-based organizations that provide education and legal services to workers - represented by FarmSTAND - have filed an amicus brief in defense of a critical Biden Administration rule related to worker safety protections. OSHA's "walkaround" rule clarifies that the Occupational Safety & Health Act allows workers to designate a third-party employee representative to aid OSHA’s inspection of their physical worksite. But Big Business wants to use a meritless lawsuit to stop it from taking effect. We're taking this action alongside Sur Legal Collaborative, Worksafe, Justice at Work Pennsylviania, National Black Worker Center, National Employment Law Project, and MA Coalition for Safety & Health (MassCOSH). More on why this rule is necessary and lawful here: https://lnkd.in/e8_Ajg2H

NEW: FarmSTAND is representing farmworker advocates and workers acting to preserve really important federal protections for workers with H-2A visas. These organizations and workers have filed an amicus brief in a meritless legal challenge to the Biden Administration’s recently finalized rule protecting the rights of workers in temporary agricultural employment. They argue that the suit fundamentally misunderstands the purpose of the H-2A program, and that the relief sought by the plaintiff states and employers – the shredding of the full rule – would gravely harm the hundreds of thousands of agricultural workers who need its protection. Those protections include requiring seatbelts in vehicles transporting workers so as to prevent horrific traffic accidents, ensuring workers in employer-provided housing can receive guests and visits from service providers, and preventing employers from retaliating against workers who file a complaint or speak with an attorney. Groups on the brief include Comité de Apoyo a los Trabajadores Agrícolas, Community Legal Services, Farmworker Justice, Farmworker Legal Services, The Georgia Legal Services Program, Justice at Work, Legal Action of Wisconsin, Legal Aid Society of Mid-New York, Inc., The National Legal Aid and Defender Association, The Northwest Workers' Justice Project, Sur Legal Collaborative, United Farm Workers Of America, and The UFW Foundation. The individual amici Willie Shelly and Tyrone Cason work with H-2A workers at a farm in Mississippi and perform the same job duties. All amici are represented by FarmSTAND and Sur Legal. https://lnkd.in/ezpU_i3q
