Your gift pays a filing fee. That’s the whole model.

Paper & Pulse is a 501(c)(3) public charity. EIN 41-4032490. Contributions are tax-deductible under IRC §170, effective January 29, 2026.

What changed.

A year ago, applying for asylum cost nothing. Fighting a deportation case cost $130.

Today, asylum costs $100 to file — plus $102 every year the case remains pending. The Department of Justice permits no fee waiver and no reduction. No hardship exception. No indigency relief. A case pending five years accrues $510 in annual fees alone, and there is no legal mechanism to reduce it.

Cancellation of removal went from $130 to $1,640, plus $30 per person in biometrics — $1,760 for a family of four. An appeal to the Board of Immigration Appeals went from $110 to $1,030.

These are not attorney’s fees. These are the government’s fees, and a filing submitted without one is rejected outright.

What your gift covers.

  • $102 — one year of the annual asylum fee, for one person
  • $510 — five years of annual fees, or one TPS filing
  • $1,030 — one appeal to the Board of Immigration Appeals
  • $1,760 — one family of four’s cancellation of removal, biometrics included

Where it goes. 100% of net proceeds — after payment processing, and after production cost on merchandise — goes into the Paper & Pulse Defense Fund. The fund pays filing fees directly. We are building to $50,000 before we open applications, so that when we open, we can say yes.

What we don’t do. Paper & Pulse does not provide legal representation. We pay filing fees.

Defend the dignity. Protect the pulse.
