Building immigrant power since 2000.
Our programs are designed to support families over years and even decades, first tackling crises – like an impending eviction or debilitating hospital bill – and then supporting community members to get on their feet, perhaps by training for a healthcare career or stabilizing their immigration status, and finally engaging clients and students in organizing to address root causes of our problems. The result is a resilient and tight-knit community that nurtures the self-sufficiency and leadership of each member.
