Puente Movement for Migrant Justice is our work to support migrant communities in Arizona including day laborers, undocumented people, mixed-status families, youth, and people most impacted by racial profiling and police/ICE joint tactics. 

Our immigration work includes:

• A legal clinic to assist people facing deportation proceedings;

• Direct action and organizing against local anti-migratory laws and practices;

• Solidarity and community-building among migrant communities through Know Your Rights trainings, organizing education, and community meetings;

• Organizing our communities to advocate for the end of Police & ICE collaboration practices;

• Exposing human rights violations experienced by people in immigration detention facilities.

Our aim is for all impacted people in Arizona to have the knowledge, tools, and community resources to defend themselves against police/ICE tactics, and for all impacted people to have a safe space and political home within the Puente Movement.

For over 10 years, Puente has led the fight against local and federal anti-migratory policies while building a political home for Arizona’s most marginalized community members. In the last decade we have been able to stop the deportation of over 478 migrants and keep their families together. The Puente Movement for Migrant Justice has created the blueprint for frontline defense in our state and in the nation.

If you or your family member are facing deportation, please contact our legal clinic.
