Border Network for Human Rights

Based in El Paso, the Border Network for Human Rights is a community and social services organization focused on human and civil rights. It works with a membership of more than 1,000 families across West Texas and Southern New Mexico, and helps organize other civic groups along the border. Its work includes education, community organizing, and advocacy. The Frontera Texas Organizing Project builds community capacity and leadership, documents abuses, and supports advocacy across the Texas Southern border. Through the We Will Resist Coalition, the organization mobilizes communities across Texas around immigration policy. Its initiatives also promote policy approaches and infrastructure intended to make the southern border more welcoming. The organization facilitates participation by marginalized border communities in efforts to advance social, political, and economic change.
