Mexico

In Mexico, thousands of asylum seekers are on their journey to seek safety. Our goal is for migrants to feel accompanied, protected from violence, able to meet their basic needs and assured that they can make informed decisions at every step along the way. We mobilize to ensure that families can live and grow together, free from separations caused by walls or unjust policies. We support Central America’s demands and efforts for greater democracy, social justice and resilient communities.

This vision is made possible through our support of migrants’ rights defenders in the region. We seek to amplify advocates’ experiences and voices so that they may receive the attention, recognition and support that they deserve. Alongside these partners, we advocate for policies that prioritize the lives, safety and dignity of migrants and those who defend them.

We also work alongside local partners such as the Migrants’ Rights Defense and Documentation Network in Mexico (REDODEM), Abba House and the Mennonite Social Action Commission (CASM) to provide assistance to migrants and asylum seekers on their journey to safety and ensure they have access to basic needs like shelter, food, medical assistance, hygiene supplies and clothing as well as counseling, legal assistance and employment advice, document human rights violations, and provide a safe space for the LGBTQI+ community.
