Our Vision.
Borderlands for Equity was born of a deep desire to create a safe and inclusive space to amplify the voices of our most marginalized siblings. Having experienced discrimination ourselves, we envision a more equitable community where we can center BIPOC, Immigrant/Refugee, Women and Femme’s lived experiences and leadership. Dismantling White Supremacist Patriarchy is at the root of our work and our advocacy aims to dismantle the misogyny that goes along with it.
Advocacy, Bystander Training , Anti-Misogyny Training, Dismantling Anti-Blackness within our Borderlands, are just a few of our trainings available

Borderlands for Equity is an intersectional organization where we advance human rights education, civic engagement, community advocacy and equitable policy change. Borderlands actively imbues a deep sense of personal agency, nourishes grassroots coalition building, cultivates greater community organizing capacity and serves impacted refugees/immigrants and those who continue to be targeted for the purpose of advancing a more socially just and inclusive community for all.
We envision a future where our immigrant, refugee and most marginalized neighbors are able to better build, create, progress and thrive in diverse, equitable, socially just and safer communities.
