ASAP Reaches 500,000 Members

June 8, 2023

Dear ASAP members,

ASAP has reached 500,000 members! We are so excited to share this news with you. With over 500,000 members today and thousands of new members joining each week, ASAP’s members represent the largest community of asylum seekers in the United States.

ASAP’s members are asylum seekers from nearly every country in the world. Today, the 16 most common countries of origin in ASAP’s membership are Brazil, China, Colombia, Cuba, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, India, Mexico, Nicaragua, Nigeria, Russia, Turkey, and Venezuela.

ASAP’s members also speak thousands of different languages. The most common languages that ASAP members speak are Spanish (spoken by about 60% of ASAP’s members) and English (spoken by about 10% of ASAP’s members).

ASAP’s members live across the United States, in every U.S. state and territory. This map shows where ASAP’s members currently live in the continental United States.

To every ASAP member — thank you so much for being part of our community, and for helping our community grow. Many new members have told us that they learned about ASAP through other ASAP members. The process of seeking asylum can be difficult, but you are not alone.

As one member said, “Never stop fighting! Remember that together, we accomplish a lot.” We cannot wait to see what ASAP members will accomplish together.
