Fuerza Migrante Launches Support Network for Mexicans in the United States Amid New Immigration Landscape

Los Angeles, California – August 18, 2026.

• **TodosM** brings together community organizations and health services, legal guidance, funeral assistance, financial inclusion, connectivity, and asset protection to bring solutions directly to families.
• More than 60 community leaders and representatives from different states took part in Los Angeles in the launch of the initiative.

Facing the tightening of immigration policies and the uncertainty confronting thousands of Mexican families in the United States, Fuerza Migrante presented TodosM, a digital services platform that seeks to transform the way the community faces an emergency: moving from reacting once the problem has already occurred to having information, guidance, and protection tools in advance.

The initiative brings together a network of organizations, community leaders, and specialized allies to bring health services, legal guidance, funeral assistance and repatriation, financial inclusion, connectivity, and asset protection closer to Mexicans living in the United States as well as to their families in Mexico.

The TodosM Service Center will function as a point of connection between the community, organizations, and institutions in both countries. It will be linked with municipal, state, and federal authorities to bring information, programs, and services offered by these agencies closer to fellow Mexicans. At the same time, every Mexican organization in the United States that joins the Fuerza Migrante Network will be able to use this infrastructure to bring any of the services available through TodosM to its local community, thereby expanding its capacity for guidance and support regardless of the city or state where it is located.

More than 60 community leaders and representatives from different regions of the United States took part in Los Angeles in the launch and in building a network aimed at bringing these services directly to communities.

“For many years our community has learned to react to emergencies. Today we need to take an additional step: prevention. A family should know who to call before they need a lawyer, where to seek medical care, how to protect their assets, or what to do in a family emergency,” said Jaime Lucero, founding president of Fuerza Migrante.

The model starts from a premise: a digital platform alone does not solve a community's problems. That is why TodosM will be accompanied by local organizations and leaders who will function as a territorial network of information, guidance, and referral.

“We are not creating another website; we are building a support network. Technology is the tool, but the ones who will make it possible for services to reach families are the organizations and leaders who have spent years working in their communities,” said Avelino Meza, Secretary General of Fuerza Migrante.

From Health Care to Protecting a Family

One of the first services presented is a telemedicine scheme that allows people to request guidance and consultations through digital tools, with accredited Mexican doctors on both sides of the border who understand the language and cultural context of the Mexican population. The program includes general medicine and access to complementary services in areas such as psychology, nutrition, and dentistry.

On the legal front, TodosM includes a network offering free initial legal guidance and referrals to lawyers to carry out procedures in Mexico with guarantees and controlled costs — something particularly relevant at a time when families need reliable information before making decisions that could affect their immigration, family, or financial situation.

The platform also incorporates a funeral assistance and repatriation program, designed to support families through the procedures and costs involved when a loved one passes away in the United States and, when that decision is made, their transfer to Mexico or other Latin American countries.

The guiding principle, Fuerza Migrante explained, is once again prevention: keeping a family from having to handle, on its own, during one of its most difficult moments, administrative, funeral, and international transfer processes.

Remittances, Assets, and Connectivity

TodosM also incorporates financial inclusion tools aimed at making it easier to manage and transfer resources between the United States and Mexico.

The initiative likewise includes programs to encourage the building and protection of assets belonging to migrants and their families in Mexico, seeking to reduce risks and offer reliable alternatives for those who have spent years building savings from the United States.

Another component is TodosM Telefonía, developed to expand access to mobile and internet services, particularly in areas with high rates of migration. Connectivity takes on special importance for transnational families who need to stay in constant communication between both countries.

A Network Born from the Organizations

During the meetings held on August 17 and 18 in Los Angeles, community representatives took part from Texas, Florida, Washington, Nevada, New York, New Jersey, and California, among other parts of the country.

Leaders of Mexican organizations shared their experiences regarding the needs they encounter daily in their communities and the way in which TodosM services can be put to use on the ground. The strategy envisions community organizations becoming points of connection to guide people and link them to the services available.

In this first stage, coordination was also established with Morelos, Jalisco, and Querétaro to move forward on programs aimed at their migrant communities and their families in Mexico. The goal is for the model to grow progressively through the addition of more organizations, communities, and allies in both countries.

“Preventing Is Also Protecting”

For Fuerza Migrante, the launch comes at a moment when U.S. immigration policy is forcing Mexican organizations to rethink their work.

The response, the network of organizations noted, cannot be limited to acting after a detention, a deportation, an illness, a death, or an economic emergency. It must begin beforehand. Inform beforehand. Guide beforehand. Organize beforehand. Protect beforehand.

“Immigration policies can change, but our ability to organize cannot depend on who is in government. We have millions of families living between Mexico and the United States who need permanent tools to protect themselves, make better decisions, and build their future,” said Lucero.

TodosM aims to become that community infrastructure: a point of entry where a person can identify a need, receive initial guidance, and be connected with an organization, program, or specialist who can help them.

Because, for Fuerza Migrante, facing the new immigration landscape, the response is not only to respond to the emergency. It is to build community before the emergency happens.
