Our Vision

Mano Amiga seeks a world where people of all color and creed are free to move without persecution, a world without fear of policing. We implement this in our work by promoting change from the ground-up through local advocacy, education, art, and community engagement.

 

Mission Statement

It is the mission, duty, and purpose of Mano Amiga to educate, advocate, coordinate, and organize alongside and in favor of immigrants and low-income residents in the rural I-35 corridor between San Antonio and Austin: Guadalupe, Caldwell, Hays, and Comal counties.

Alongside writers, visual artists, musicians, and film-makers, we amplify the voices and experiences of people from historically underrepresented communities including people of color, the LGBTQIA+ community, and people who have been directly impacted by incarceration.

With our partners in the big cities, we aim to construct an 80-mile-long corridor of resistance to racist, anti-immigrant policies, deep in the heart of Texas.
