El CENTRO de Igualdad y Derechos is a grassroots, immigrants’ rights and workers’ justice organization based in Albuquerque, New Mexico, We utilize multiple strategies to impact systemic change and grow the power of immigrant families and low-wage workers: grassroots organizing, information campaigns, leadership development, policy advocacy, voter engagement, and strategic communications to impact the issue environment. El CENTRO is unique in that our staff is predominantly comprised of immigrant leaders who are impacted by the same policies, conditions, and racial, social, and economic inequities that we organize our members to address. 

We believe in the power of collective action!  Our members are the reason why El CENTRO has been successful in fighting for immigrants’ right,  workers’ justice, and a more inclusive economy in New MexicoOur organizing work gives voice to hundreds of low-wage immigrant workers in Albuquerque, builds community, and leads to systemic and institutional changes that aim to ensure all New Mexicans have the opportunity to thrive.
