Movement for Justice in El Barrio

is an immigrant-led multi-issue organization fighting for justice in

East Harlem, New York and was named the "Best Power to the

People Movement in NYC" by the Village Voice. Movimiento was founded

to fight against a voracious trend towards gentrification that is

devouring low-income housing and displacing immigrant families from

their homes.



Movimiento is looking to hire a temporary research coordinator/organizer 
to work with membership to gather and analyze grassroots research with 
the aim of releasing comprehensive report.



Through strategies such as protests and direct action, litigation, and

media outreach, Movimiento has organized tenants to achieve hundreds

of repairs and has successfully challenged attempts by aggressive

landlords and multi-national corporations to illegally evict them from

their homes.



After a comprehensive community driven consultation process,

Movimiento will launch a new campaign on another issue affecting

immigrant communities in East Harlem.



Members practice collective decision-making and democracy at

regularly-held leadership meetings where they participate in

skills-building workshops and deepen their political analysis through

workshops on the root causes of injustice and on other locally-based

social justice movements around the world.
