IAJE is a community-led organization dedicated to building power within immigrant and marginalized communities across Mississippi. We believe in the inherent dignity and rights of all people.

Support Our Work

IAJE relies on the generosity of donors like you to continue our essential work in immigrant communities. Your financial support enables us to provide critical services, advocate for policy change, and build community power. Without donations, we would be unable to respond to crises, connect those in need with legal assistance, or develop the next generation of immigrant leaders.

Every contribution, regardless of size, makes a meaningful difference in our ability to serve those most vulnerable in our state. Your donation is an investment in a more just and equitable Mississippi for all..

Help us empower and amplify the voices of immigrant communities in Mississippi.

It only takes one voice, at the right pitch, to start an avalanche.
— Dianna HArdy

Why Give?

By supporting IAJE’s Solidarity Fund, Mississippi’s immigrant community is able to consistently defend their rights at the grassroots level. Your donation will go directly to community members’ urgent needs and other vital services during this time of crisis.

At IAJE, we proudly serve all members of the immigrant community who often face the greatest barriers to accessing services and support. We primarily serve immigrant families throughout Mississippi, with a focus on:

  • Maternal and child health

  • Public health initiatives through our Promotora program — chronic disease, mental health, STI and safe sex practices

  • Refugees and assylum seekers

  • Mixed-status families

  • Queer and trans community

  • Immigrant youth and children of immigrants

  • DACA and DALE applicants

Holding Space

Immigrants in MS face numerous barriers, including:

  • Limited legal protections

  • Workplace exploitation

  • Healthcare barriers

  • Education gaps

  • Language injustice

  • Social isolation

We believe that human dignity transcends administrative classifications, and we serve all Mississippi residents who need our assistance. Our inclusive approach allows us to reach vulnerable populations who might otherwise remain in the shadows, afraid to seek help.
