UNIDOS

Migrantes Unidos(es) (MU) is a St. Louis based group of asylum seekers and other immigrants without permanent status from Latin America who are committed to pursue the elimination of all forms of surveillance and detention used in immigration. MU members provide peer support to each other and develop practical strategies for information gathering, self-care, and collective action. 

 

MU members are centered as experts and advise organizations on how best to promote immigrant leadership in the struggle for justice. Every member is economically compensated for their time and work. Monthly meetings are conducted all in Spanish and French Creole.

 

The project is currently supported by the following organizations and grants:

• The St. Louis Interfaith Committee on Latin America (IFCLA)

• Colibri Consulting

• The University of Missouri in St. Louis (UMSL)

• The Henry Luce Foundation

• Missouri Foundation for Health
