Mission Statement
Mission: To provide a network of safety and support to immigrants, regardless of status. Vision: A society where everyone is welcomed, respected, and safe. Values: UIDN is committed to building a world of racial justice, equity and inclusion, and respect for diversity. We seek in our actions to bring such a world into being by fighting against all forms of racism and xenophobia; listening hard to the voices of the most impacted communities; and seeking dialogue and solidarity with others who work for racial, social, economic, and environmental justice.
