About Immigrants & Allies United for Justice

 

                      All students. All workers. All families. All people.

                      Todos los estudiantes. Todos los trabajadores. Todas las familias. Toda la gente.

Immigrants & Allies United for Justice is a North Carolina-based campaign to build deeper relationships between immigrant and refugee rights leaders, immigrant allies, and other social justice movements. 

We see a need for people active in immigrants' rights to understand and work in solidarity with people active on other progressive issues, and a need for progressives to stand with us for migrant justice.


What We Believe:

  • We believe another world is possible.
  • We believe in nonviolence, human rights, and ending oppression.
  • We believe that issues are always connected to other issues, and that working at the intersections can be transformative and powerful.
  • We believe that we bring our whole selves into our work for social justice.
  • We believe in building relationships for the long term, and working locally, regionally, statewide, nationwide and globally.
  • We believe in that every person has the right to food, housing, health care, education, meaningful employment, and the right to exist in freedom without fear of displacement or deportation.
  • We believe that we should care for our Earth and for each other, and we should treat each other well.
  • We are students of history, and believe there are many lessons to be learned from past movements for human liberation and equality.
  • We believe in honoring and respecting a diversity of identities, languages, belief systems, and cultures.
  • We believe in multilingual spaces and language justice.
  • We honor and participate in popular education, advocacy, community organizing, direct service work, direct action, civil disobedience and more.
  • We seek to transform the world toward greater freedom, justice, and equality.
