Our model

Make the Road New Jersey builds the power of immigrant and working class communities of color to achieve dignity and respect. We do that through four key components that reach tens of thousands of individuals every year:

Community Organizing to change the systems and power structures affecting our communities; 

Legal and Support Services to tackle discrimination, abuse, and poverty;

Policy Innovation to rewrite unfair laws/policies and make our democracy accountable to all of us; and

Transformative Education to develop leadership by amplifying our community members’ abilities to become leaders and lead in our movement.
