Mission Statement
Freedom for Immigrants is an abolitionist organization that envisions a world without prisons or cages of any kind. We work to abolish immigration incarceration, recognizing we are part of a broader movement fighting for our freedom at the intersection of mass incarceration, immigration enforcement, and the deprivation of Black, brown, and Indigenous people’s autonomy. To empower our communities, we organize alongside and follow the leadership of currently and formerly incarcerated immigrants. We recognize our work is necessarily tied to broader efforts to eradicate white supremacy and the systems that sustain oppression. By cultivating the community-centered solutions that breathe life into our collective liberation, we actively build a future in which all people can move freely and thrive.
About This Cause
FFI recently marked both our 10 year anniversary and a key milestone in our commitment to follow the leadership of those directly impacted by detention when we welcomed Laura Hernandez, a passionate, skilled, queer, BIPOC organizer and a survivor of prison incarceration and immigration detention as our new Executive Director. Under Laura’s visionary leadership, this year FFI underwent a “chrysalis,” process, the stage of our organizational transformation envisioning the next chapter of FFI. We emerged with a renewed vision, theory of change, and 3 year strategic plan. A small organization with a national footprint, for years FFI has fought hard to shed light on the deadly conditions endemic to immigrant detention while advocating for community based care.
