What is Alianza Americas?

Alianza Americas is a unique network of Latin American and Caribbean migrant-led organizations. Our mission is to foster an inclusive, equitable, and sustainable way of life for communities in the U.S. and our countries of origin.

Our main Issue Areas

Our work is dedicated to three main programmatic axes, each aimed at significantly improving the realities of migrants in the U.S. and Latin America.

Line of action
Systemic Inequities
Alianza Americas is committed to confronting the structural inequities that affect the communities where our members work. These inequities present significant barriers to the democratic process and social equality and threaten the health and well-being of the folks we work with day by day. We also recognize that this struggle presents us with great opportunities to strengthen the capacity for critical analysis, leadership, and advocacy among our members.As an organization comprising a network of grassroots organizations led by and serving immigrants of Latin American origin, we recognize that the history of efforts to maintain white supremacy have led to systemic inequities related to gender, race, ethnicities, language,  economic conditions, and social class. These intersectional factors are fundamental in defining our work in addressing structural inequities and building democracy and well-being. We structure our work around three fundamental goals which we see as pivotal to our work.
Confronting structural inequities and building social justice
Line of action
Immigrant Justice
Alianza Americas is deeply committed to promoting and safeguarding the human rights of migrants, including the right to migrate. Through our migrant justice work, we advance public education efforts to shed light on the challenges, triumphs, and needs of migrants and their families in the United States and in their countries of origin. We work towards ensuring that migrants and their families can establish deep roots in a safe and dignified manner in the places that they call home by advancing public education, advocacy, and narrative campaigns that are migrant centered.
Organized Migrants for Human Rights
Line of action
Climate Justice
The planet's deterioration in its capacity to sustain life is now an existential threat, impacting communities worldwide. Destructive, extractive, and exploitative economic practices over the past two centuries have led to ecological degradation, disproportionately affecting the Americas. This environmental degradation is a key to understanding human mobility and is reshaping migration in unprecedented ways. Alianza America's climate and environmental justice efforts prioritize racial and economic equity and empower migrant and rural displaced communities as leaders in the climate movement.
