Minnesota Immigrant Rights Action Committee

MIRAC is an all-volunteer grassroots organization that has mobilized and educated the immigrant community and their allies since 2006. We believe that no one is illegal and center our work under this belief. We are led by predominantly BIPOC and immigrant community members. For over 19 years, MIRAC has mobilized community members to take action through community education, protests, marches, and demonstrations.

We organize to fight against the harmful rhetoric and laws that are used to demonize and to criminalize immigrants. This year it is abundantly clear that a new narrative is needed throughout our community, our state, and our nation. A narrative that amplifies the important contributions our immigrant neighbors are making in our community. A narrative of respect and dignity for all migrants.

Below are some highlights from our work during the last 12 months:

1. Organized numerous Know Your Rights trainings, monthly Raid Response Trainings and Family Preparedness trainings in Mpls., St. Paul and the near suburbs.

2. Worked with day laborers to establish a referral system for their work.

3. Organized multiple successful marches and protests in coalition with other movement and labor organizations. We continue to organize to demand legalization for all and no militarized ICE activity in our cities and along the border.

4. Intensified our efforts in Minneapolis to strengthen the city’s Sanctuary Ordinance between the Minneapolis Police Department and federal agencies such as ICE. We demand No Collusion, No crowd control, No cover ups, and Real consequences if the separation ordinance is violated.

With your support and encouragement, we can continue our programs and outreach into the immigrant community.  We are in this struggle together. MIRAC is an all-volunteer organization, so 100% of your donation will go directly into funding our work.
