Make the Road New Jersey builds the power of immigrant, working-class & Latinx communities to achieve dignity and respect through community organizing, high-quality legal services, policy innovation and transformative education. Founded in 2014. Make the Road New Jersey’s centers in Elizabeth, Perth Amboy, Passaic and satellite hub in Newark are welcoming spaces for community organizing, leadership development and legal, health and educational services. Every week, hundreds of poor and working class immigrants and people of color – young people and adults – come together to fight for dignity and respect in our communities.
Make the Road New Jersey has led succesful campaigns to impact more than 1 million low income, immigrant and BIPOC New Jerseyans in the areas of immigrant, youth, tenant and workers’ rights. Our legal services, health outreach and educational programming have reached more than 100,000 low income immigrants and people of color with critical, life sustaining services and transformational education.
Make the Road New Jersey is a project of Make the Road States, a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization.
