Grantmakers Concerned with Immigrants and Refugees - GCIR

Organizing and providing legal assistance to migrant and guest workers poses a challenge to lawyers and activists on both sides of the U.S. and Mexican border.  Many workers are unaware of the living and working conditions they may encounter working in America, and they often do not know their legal rights as workers.  The Binational Labor Justice Convening brought migrant worker advocates from Mexico and the United States together to coordinate efforts to educate workers, understand international law, and strategize how to promote justice and human rights for migrant workers.
