About Me

The National Network for Immigrant & Refugee Rights was founded in 1986 as the result of a recognized need in the movement from activists all over the United States.

Since then, the National Network has been active in staking out and framing immigrant and migrant rights perspectives in the US and at the international level in terms of social jsutice and human rights, combating the often xenophobic and racist rhetoric on migrants. NNIRR has also taken a leading role in the immigrant rights movement on LGBTSTQ issues throughout its history, as well as linking and deepening the analysis around the relationship between long-standing marginalized communities and new immigrant & Refugee populations.
