Advocacy and Education

Quixote Center works to defend the human rights and dignity of the most vulnerable by influencing U.S. foreign and immigration policies, through educating our supporters, allied organizations, and government officials, and through actions directed at specific policies. Gun violence, extreme poverty and vulnerability lead families to make the heartbreaking decision to migrate to the United States or elsewhere. Our policy priorities address the root causes of migration in Haiti, Nicaragua and across Latin America and the Caribbean while our economic development programs protect their right to remain and prosper on their native land. We also defend the rights of migrants in the United States and work toward safe and non-exploitative legal pathways that recognize the important role immigrants play in our society and economy. 

We educate our constituencies through:

• Our Between Borders video series
• Our weekly blog and eblast;
• Our Solidarity Travel program;
• Occasional events, webinars, and reports.

Quixote Center impacts policies through:

• Encouraging our supporters to send letters to Congress and the Administration;
• Scheduling in-person meetings with Members of Congress and the Administration;
• Participating in demonstrations and other direct action;
• Working in coalition with allied organizations.
