As part of our mission, we dedicate a portion of our concert proceeds to organizations in Chicago that lift and protect those most in need, across every community, culture, and background.
For this performance, we are profoundly honored to pledge our support to the National Immigrant Justice Center, whose work defends the rights and dignity of those seeking safety, belonging, and a future. Their mission reminds us that justice is not abstract; it lives in every life given a chance to begin again.
In a season meant for light, we cannot look away from the shadows. The stories unfolding in our city and across our country call us to empathy, to courage, and to action.
Everyone deserves fairness. Everyone deserves compassion. Everyone deserves dignity.
At Allegrezza, we believe music is more than performance... it is reflection and resistance, celebration and conviction, a living testament to the power of compassion over indifference.
In partnership with the National Immigrant Justice Center, we lift our voices for those still finding theirs.
We sing for hope. We sing for humanity.
Jonathan Pugh, President
Allegrezza Inc. NFP

History & Mission of NIJC
Mission To establish and defend the legal rights of immigrants regardless of background and transform the immigration system to one that affords equal opportunity for all. History In 1984, a small group of attorneys founded the Midwest Immigrant Rights Center to provide legal representation to people from Haiti and Central America fleeing violence and persecution. Our goals were to defend the human rights of people who came to the United States in search of protection and to uphold the rule of law, irrespective of politics. In its first year, the center served 82 people through a mostly volunteer network of 60 attorneys. In the following decades, we grew into the National Immigrant Justice Center (NIJC), a nationally recognized organization with a staff of more than 160 professionals and a network of 2,000-plus pro bono attorneys who provide legal services to more than 11,000 people every year. For most of our history, NIJC operated as a program housed under a parent nonprofit organization. We became an independent 501(c)(3) organization in 2024. While the political and legal landscape immigrants face in the United States is constantly changing, NIJC’s mission and values have not. We continue to defend the rights and dignity of immigrants, asylum seekers, and refugees and fight for justice in a deeply flawed system. We represent thousands of people each year in applications for legal status, defending individuals’ rights under the law to live in safety with their loved ones in the United States and to be free from violence and persecution. 111 W. Jackson Blvd., Suite 800, Chicago, IL 60604 The National Immigrant Justice Center (NIJC, NFP) is a 501c3 nonprofit organization (EIN: 93-3878636).
