Mission Statement
Northwest Immigrant Rights Project promotes justice by defending and advancing the rights of immigrants through direct legal services, systemic advocacy, and community education.
Our Vision
Northwest Immigrant Rights Project strives for justice and equity for all persons, regardless of where they were born.
Our Values and Principles
1. Dignity
We all deserve to have our human dignity and fundamental rights respected.
2. Fairness
Laws and policies should be fair and equitable. When liberty or fundamental rights are at stake, all people are entitled to meaningful due process and competent legal representation
3. Solidarity
We are connected by our common humanity, by global forces that affect our lives, and by historic patterns of oppression, discrimination and inequity. For society to be just and whole, we must work together to undo systemic oppression in its many forms.
4. Self-Determination
Society thrives when all people have opportunities to live their lives to their fullest potential.
5. Safety
People and communities thrive when we all feel and experience safety. Safety should never be used to justify oppression.
6. Inclusion
We see diversity and inclusiveness as a source of strength.
