Our Programs
BRIDGE and HURTIs Human Rights Training Institutes
The Human Rights Training Institutes are designed to train a new generation of human rights defenders and to tackle critical concerns in their communities. Grounded in popular education and liberatory pedagogies, the Institutes provide the building-blocks of base-building and movement-building, provide skills on intersectional solidarity, abuse documentation and monitoring and building grassroots power.
For over three decades, the National Network for Immigrant and Refugee Rights (NNIRR) has been a pioneering force in advocating for the rights and dignity of migrants in the US and around the globe. As a founding member of Migrants Rights International (MRI), NNIRR helped lay the groundwork for a unified, global network of migrant rights organizations and advocated for rights-affirming pathways for regular migration and regularization programs as well as gendered-sensitive protections for people on the move.
NNIRR is a leading voice in raising awareness about the devastating consequences of militarized border policies—human rights violations, migrant disappearances, and the preventable tragedy of migrant deaths that continue to unfold every day. Through strategic partnerships, organizing and network-building, NNIRR amplifies the voices of those affected by these injustices, pushing for bold action that puts human dignity and human rights at the center of migration and border governance.
Education, Capacity Building & Community Resources
Grounded in popular education, NNIRR has created tools and spaces to share experiences, understand those of others, and develop strategy and collective visions for a better world.
