Mission Statement
At the Maine Immigrants’ Rights Coalition (MIRC), our mission is to improve legal, social, and economic conditions for immigrants in the state of Maine - enhancing their lives while strengthening Maine – through advocacy, information sharing and collaboration both through and among our member organizations.
About This Cause
Founded by the Immigrant Legal Advocacy Project in 2005 and initially sponsored by Maine People’s Resource Center (MPRC), the Maine Immigrants’ Rights Coalition (MIRC) has grown into a full-fledged non-profit organization dedicated to the advancement of legal, social, and economic outcomes for immigrants in the state of Maine. What began as a small but mighty coalition of 20 members is now a unique and diverse network of over 100 organizations with the same goal: to foster immigrant inclusion and integration through both support programs and policies. Member organizations, a majority of which are led by people of color, work hand in hand with each other as well as local and state legislature to represent diverse ethnic communities across our state. Policy reform, information sharing, collaboration with partners, community outreach, and education are just a few of the ways in which we strive to strengthen Maine and combat the most pressing issues facing our immigrant population. MIRC based in Portland operates statewide, with activities concentrated in Cumberland, Androscoggin, York, Kennebec, and Washington counties. The specific cities where there are concentrated services are: Greater Portland, Lewiston, Auburn, Bath, Brunswick, Freeport Augusta, Bangor, Milbridge, Old Orchard Beach, Biddeford, Saco, and Sanford. Membership is open to organizations that share our mission.
