Amigos engages in educational activities that focus on the nature and significance of international human rights. We emphasize the importance of respecting immigrant rights as human rights.

Amigos advocates on behalf of fair and equitable immigration policies that are responsive to the needs of people from Latin American nations, many of whom come to the United States to escape poverty, political violence, and other human rights violations.

We also advocate on behalf of the human rights of those Latino immigrants who now reside in the United States, to insure their protection, security, just treatment, and inclusion in U.S. society.
