New Resource for Funders: Crossing Boundaries, Connecting Communities

The Black Alliance for Just Immigration (BAJI) has released Crossing Boundaries, Connecting Communities: Alliance Building for Immigrant Rights and Racial Justice.  Produced with support from the Hill-Snowdon Foundation, Open Society Institute and Public Interest Projects, this new report includes detailed case studies of organizations that are forging effective cross racial alliances between immigrant and native-born communities in order to build power and win just policies and practices in their regions. The report features current and former Common Counsel Foundation grantee partners, such as the Koreatown Immigrant Workers Alliance, the Center for Intercultural Organizing, People Organized to Win Employment Rights (POWER) and the Sunflower Community Action. A tool for both funders and practitioners, this report documents the range of creative strategies being employed to create authentic relationships between diverse constituents. It concludes with recommendations aimed attracting more resources for this innovative, yet under-funded, community strengthening strategy.
