THE RHIZOME CENTER FOR MIGRANTS

The Rhizome Center for Migrants’ mission is to support and defend forcibly displaced persons and uprooted people at risk around the world. Through the help of technology and transborder networks, we combine direct services, advocacy, and socially-driven development to empower migrant communities.

The Rhizome Center for Migrants was founded in 2018 to respond to the surge in deportations of long-term residents of the United States during the Trump Administration. Our organization has centralized its efforts in Mexico to serve and defend the rights of the deported and their family members. The Rhizome Center provides high quality legal services and is a leading voice on the long-term implications of deportation on Mexico and the United States.
