CCIJ moves beyond traditional legal services and supports innovative approaches for the liberation and empowerment of detained immigrants and their communities.
OUR COMMITMENT
Our immigration system is rooted in racism and xenophobia. It dehumanizes and defames our community members to justify detaining them and profiting off their suffering.
CCIJ is committed to fighting against this unjust and for-profit system by empowering folx in detention and working with them to find innovative strategies for individual and collective liberation.
