Who We Back

Provides pro-bono translation services for displaced people  to support them building a strong legal case for asylum, bridging gaps between social services agencies and refugees while creating employment opportunities by also hiring refugees as interpreters.

Fosters a supportive, compassionate alternative for canners — people who collect empty beverage containers to then redeem for five cents each — to access redemption services that create pathways for their financial, social, and environmental empowerment.

Builds the collective power of migrants and other under-served residents through community leadership and organizing, including working with street vendors  — many of whom are immigrant women — to open and run a market in Sunset Park.

Provides immigrant women with holistic support and case management services, from safety planning to secure emergency housing and medical assistance, to ESL, Know Your Rights, financial literacy and  job training courses, and connection to vital resources for women without access to other social service agencies.

Gives low-wage immigrant workers the tools to be advocates in their workplaces and build strong and economically sustainable communities through education, organizing, leadership development, and grassroots alternatives.
