We protect migrants across borders Formerly: Global Workers Justice Alliance

Vision: Protecting migrant rights across borders.

Mission: The mission of Justice in Motion is to protect migrant rights across borders by developing and supporting a cross-border network of advocates and resources. Justice in Motion is dedicated to protecting migrants rights across borders. In our global economy, this is a critical issue that must be addressed to ensure justice for migrants. The cross border challenges to achieving justice allow companies whose products and services we use every day to exploit migrant workers and get away with it. Families are denied safety for their children. Human traffickers are able to profit at the expense of those seeking a better life. Migrants, families, businesses, and everyone who plays by the rules is compromised as a result. We currently operate legal, educational, and policy initiatives in the United States, Canada, Mexico, and Central America. Through a unique network of on-the- ground human rights partners, Justice in Motion makes sure that wherever migrants go, their rights will follow.

For our next Arte en Movimiento spotlight, we are honored to feature Margarita Cabrera!

Born in Monterrey, Mexico, and currently an Assistant Professor at Arizona State University, Margarita’s work explores migration, identity, and borderland dynamics.

Her practice combines traditional craftsmanship with profound cultural commentary. Using materials laden with heavy symbolism – such as border patrol uniforms and cochineal dye – Margarita collaborates directly with Indigenous and immigrant communities, weaving their personal narratives into soft sculptures that reclaim border regions as potent symbols of resilience.

From community-driven public sculptures like UPLIFT to international museum exhibitions, her work serves as a powerful testament to cross-border solidarity and collective memory.

En nuestra próxima entrega de Arte en Movimiento ¡nos honra presentar a Margarita Cabrera!

Nacida en Monterrey, México, y actualmente profesora asistente en la Universidad Estatal de Arizona, el trabajo de Margarita explora la migración, la identidad y las dinámicas de las regiones fronterizas.

Su práctica combina la artesanía tradicional con un profundo comentario cultural. Utilizando materiales con una gran carga simbólica – como uniformes de la patrulla fronteriza y grana cochinilla – Margarita colabora directamente con comunidades indígenas y migrantes, entretejiendo sus historias personales en esculturas de tela que transforman las zonas fronterizas en poderosos símbolos de resiliencia.

Tanto en sus esculturas comunitarias como en sus exposiciones en museos internacionales, su obra refleja la fuerza de la solidaridad transfronteriza y la memoria colectiva.

Justice in Motion has been a lifeline for migrants and deported immigrants during a period in U.S. history marked by fear, instability, and government overreach.

Take a look back at our recent milestones to see what happens when we refuse to let geographic and legal borders dictate human rights. Last year, Justice in Motion:

🔹 Prevented deportations by helping migrants access asylum and legal protections

🔹 Reunified families and delivered accountability for abuses during arrest, detention, and deportation

🔹 Ensured exploited workers received the wages and justice they deserve

🔹 Expanded our Defender Network to more than 70 partners across five countries

From the pecan shellers of San Antonio to the agricultural workers of California and Immokalee, Florida, migrant and Latine leadership has radically reshaped the American labor movement. 🛠️✊

These movements remind us that workers’ rights do not stop at the border. Migrant workers contribute to communities and economies across the U.S., yet they face exploitation, unsafe conditions, wage theft, and other abuses – often with significant barriers to seeking justice.

This Labor Day, we honor the migrant workers and organizers who have fought for greater protections and helped advance worker rights. When these farmworkers and organizers took to the streets, they brought deeply rooted traditions of community organizing, mutual aid , and relentless resilience, recognizing that every worker deserves to be treated with dignity, wherever their work takes them.

Behind every deportation statistic is a child living with unbearable anxiety.
A powerful three-part investigation by MindSite News exposes the severe, lasting mental health toll on youth impacted by ICE operations:

🗞️ In part 1, a 3-year-old struggles to cope after his father is suddenly taken.

🗞️ In part 2, a high schooler lives in constant agony, fearing every school day could end with her parents' arrest.

🗞️ In part 3, a school principal reflects on how schools can step up with creative strategies to protect and support traumatized youth.

Living in constant fear of family separation creates chronic psychological distress, panic, and trauma that shape a child's development forever. Family separation isn’t only a legal crisis – it’s a public mental health emergency.
