Immigrant Justice Solidarity Project (IJSP) is a NYC-based, all-volunteer collective that fights local manifestations of imperialism. We believe that communities directly impacted byimperialism must be at the forefront of this social justice movement. IJSP's structure reflects this by primarily supporting the leadership of low-income, people of color & immigrant, anti-imperialist community-based organizations (CBOs). In particular, we provideorganizational and movement support to two groups - Desis Rising Up & Moving (DRUM) and Domestic Workers United (DWU), for whom we focus our support efforts on legalization, just labor law and halting the criminalization of immigrant populations.
IJSP is a multiracial ally organization made up of less-affected members. For IJSP, the terms ally and less-affected mean that our members are not directly affected by the issues we work on. With this definition, we seek to leave space for anyone to join us. As less-affected individuals, we see our role as shaped by the needs of the directly-affected communities with whom we work. We maintain a vision aroudn ally involvement, prioritizing accountability and community building among ourselves in hopes to strengthen this movement. Through our work, we are attempting to develop a model for sustainable ally activism centered around anti-oppression and anti-imperialism.
