Context

The Immigrant Community as a Key Political Force

The immigrant community sustains political, social, and economic ties between Mexico and the United States. When organized, its participation is a strategic force for shaping public policy and legislative decisions in both countries.

Civic Participation Strengthens Democracy

The political participation of the diaspora builds more inclusive democracies, promotes accountability, and strengthens the collective defense of rights in the face of exclusion and inequality.

Binational Political Organizing

Shifting political landscapes in both countries require ongoing coordination, analysis, and action to ensure the immigrant community has a voice, representation, and a sustained capacity for advocacy.
