Al Otro Lado is a bi-national advocacy and legal aid organization serving migrants, refugees and deportees in the United States and Mexico.
We leverage vital partnerships and engage thousands of volunteers to increase our capacity and help build a broad-based immigrant justice movement. Our approach is multidisciplinary, client-centered, and trauma-informed, combining fierce legal advocacy with holistic support. The clients we serve include medically vulnerable and disabled migrants, people in detention, and all families who have been separated by unjust US immigration policies. Al Otro Lado conducts human rights monitoring in immigration prisons and at the border, informing our impact litigation and policy advocacy strategies with a focus on dismantling systems of oppression.
