IMMIGRANT JUSTICE AND RIGHTS

• Human Rights Immigrant Community Action Network (HURRICANE) – An initiative for community members, organizers and advocates to dialogue and develop a shared vision of the changes we want. HURRICANE offers a tool for communities to document human rights abuses and build community power, seek accountability and get the justice they want.
• Advocacy & Urgent Action Network: Take immediate action to stop a deportation, get someone out of detention; whether its making a phone call, sending a fax or clicking a button, there is always something you can do to stop an injustice. 
• 100 Stories Project: gathering testimonies of community members affected by abuses, to put a human face to the issue and lift up the voices of immigrant communities experiencing deep injustice in their daily lives.

INTERNATIONAL MIGRANT RIGHTS AND GLOBAL JUSTICE

• Trade - Managed Migration - Repression: Reporting and advocacy against exploitative Economic Partnership Agreements (EPAs) and other international policies
• International Advocacy: Policy monitoring and advocacy through inter-governmental bodies such as the Global Forum on Migration & Development (GFMD), UN Human Rights Council, International Labour Organisation (ILO), World Trade Organisation (WTO), other UN agencies
• International Networking: Building international partnerships and alliances for unified international advocacy and action.

 LGBTIQ OUTREACH & LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT

This new project was proposed by our LGBT members who are eager to raise awareness about "LGBT issues" in our diverse immigrant communities, promote rights, and support organizing and leadership development. In coordination with the project, NNIRR has also become a national partner with the Western States Center's "Uniting Communities" education program addressing LGBT issues among communities of color.
