Dear Friend,
Today, I=E2=80=99m filled with joy to introduce to you the new Freedom for =
Immigrants (FFI)!
When I began this journey as FFI=E2=80=99s Executive Director a year ago, I=
understood that much needed to change in order to ensure our organization=
=E2=80=99s work was consistent with my own experiences and beliefs.
Our team agreed change was necessary, and together, we embarked on a transf=
ormative process we affectionately called =E2=80=9Cchrysalis.=E2=80=9D
I=E2=80=99m happy to report we are now emerging from our =E2=80=9Ccocoon=E2=
=80=9D with bold plans to restructure FFI and re-center our work around our=
communities and an expansive vision of abolition.
To us, abolition means love, collective care, abundance, and interdependenc=
e. It means actively creating a world in which Black people, Indigenous peo=
ple, and People of Color can not only live in safety, but thrive and lead d=
ignified lives. A world in which everyone enjoys their fundamental right to=
freedom of movement!
To reach this vision, we=E2=80=99re going to organize alongside our incarce=
rated comrades. We=E2=80=99ll disrupt and agitate the detention machine fro=
m inside the house.
Crucially, we=E2=80=99ll follow the leadership of directly impacted people.=
After all, those of us who have suffered oppression first-hand are the rea=
l experts in this struggle.
And we=E2=80=99ll take an intersectional approach to building power with an=
d investing in the leadership of incarcerated Black and Brown organizers. W=
e know immigration detention is an outgrowth of the racist mass prison syst=
em, and as someone who=E2=80=99s been incarcerated by both the prison syste=
m and ICE, I know in my heart we=E2=80=99ll need to tackle these systems as=
one in order to reach true collective freedom.
The bottom line is this: When Black people are free, we will all be free. T=
hat's why we=E2=80=99ll work to support and follow the leadership of Black =
abolitionists and leaders fighting the criminal injustice system.
So, what does all of this mean?
For starters, we=E2=80=99ll eventually be launching organizing work, as wel=
l as advocacy at the intersection of the prison and immigration systems in =
order to prevent more people from being transferred to ICE, among other exc=
iting new programs.
It also means we=E2=80=99ll be winding down some of our existing programs t=
o make room for this new growth. We=E2=80=99re making internal shifts to en=
sure our work is focused, sustainable for our staff, and adaptable to the e=
ver-changing needs of directly impacted people.
To help bring our vision to life, we=E2=80=99ve also crafted a three-year s=
trategic plan. This plan provides a clear blueprint for how we=E2=80=99ll c=
ontinue to build an organization that is resilient and truly led by current=
ly and formerly incarcerated people.
You can read our full mission statement and theory of change here, and our =
strategic plan here.
And don=E2=80=99t forget =E2=80=94 we=E2=80=99ll be holding a town hall whe=
re I=E2=80=99m looking forward to talking about the future with supporters =
like you. RSVP for the 6pm ET session here and the 6pm PT session here.
You=E2=80=99ll often hear me say, =E2=80=9CWe need to move with the movemen=
t.=E2=80=9D What this really means is that we need to be ready to adapt our=
strategies to the unique and ever-changing needs of the community.
I=E2=80=99m confident the new FFI sets us up to do exactly that!
Onward,

Dear Friend,
Today, I’m filled with joy to introduce to you the new Freedom for Immigrants (FFI)!
When I began this journey as FFI’s Executive Director a year ago, I understood that much needed to change in order to ensure our organization’s work was consistent with my own experiences and beliefs.
Our team agreed change was necessary, and together, we embarked on a transformative process we affectionately called “chrysalis.”
I’m happy to report we are now emerging from our “cocoon” with bold plans to restructure FFI and re-center our work around our communities and an expansive vision of abolition.
To us, abolition means love, collective care, abundance, and interdependence. It means actively creating a world in which Black people, Indigenous people, and People of Color can not only live in safety, but thrive and lead dignified lives. A world in which everyone enjoys their fundamental right to freedom of movement!
To reach this vision, we’re going to organize alongside our incarcerated comrades. We’ll disrupt and agitate the detention machine from inside the house.
Crucially, we’ll follow the leadership of directly impacted people. After all, those of us who have suffered oppression first-hand are the real experts in this struggle.
And we’ll take an intersectional approach to building power with and investing in the leadership of incarcerated Black and Brown organizers. We know immigration detention is an outgrowth of the racist mass prison system, and as someone who’s been incarcerated by both the prison system and ICE, I know in my heart we’ll need to tackle these systems as one in order to reach true collective freedom.
The bottom line is this: When Black people are free, we will all be free. That's why we’ll work to support and follow the leadership of Black abolitionists and leaders fighting the criminal injustice system.
So, what does all of this mean?
For starters, we’ll eventually be launching organizing work, as well as advocacy at the intersection of the prison and immigration systems in order to prevent more people from being transferred to ICE, among other exciting new programs.
It also means we’ll be winding down some of our existing programs to make room for this new growth. We’re making internal shifts to ensure our work is focused, sustainable for our staff, and adaptable to the ever-changing needs of directly impacted people.
To help bring our vision to life, we’ve also crafted a three-year strategic plan. This plan provides a clear blueprint for how we’ll continue to build an organization that is resilient and truly led by currently and formerly incarcerated people.
You can read our full mission statement and theory of change here, and our strategic plan here.
And don’t forget — we’ll be holding a town hall where I’m looking forward to talking about the future with supporters like you. RSVP for the 6pm ET session here and the 6pm PT session here.
You’ll often hear me say, “We need to move with the movement.” What this really means is that we need to be ready to adapt our strategies to the unique and ever-changing needs of the community.
I’m confident the new FFI sets us up to do exactly that!
Onward,
Laura Hernández

argin-bottom: 10px;">Today, I=E2=80=99m filled with joy to introduce to you=
the new Freedom for Immigrants (FFI)!<br><br>When I began this journey as =
FFI=E2=80=99s Executive Director a year ago, I understood that much needed =
to change in order to ensure our organization=E2=80=99s work was consistent=
with my own experiences and beliefs.<br><br>Our team agreed change was nec=
essary, and together, we embarked on a transformative process we affectiona=
tely called =E2=80=9Cchrysalis.=E2=80=9D<br><br>I=E2=80=99m happy to report=
we are now emerging from our =E2=80=9Ccocoon=E2=80=9D with bold plans to r=
estructure FFI and re-center our work around our communities and an expansi=
ve vision of abolition.<br><br>To us, abolition means love, collective care=
, abundance, and interdependence. It means actively creating a world in whi=
ch Black people, Indigenous people, and People of Color can not only live i=
n safety, but thrive and lead dignified lives. A world in which everyone en=
joys their fundamental right to freedom of movement!<br><br>To reach this v=
ision, we=E2=80=99re going to organize alongside our incarcerated comrades.=
We=E2=80=99ll disrupt and agitate the detention machine from inside the ho=
use.<br><br>Crucially, we=E2=80=99ll follow the leadership of directly impa=
cted people. After all, those of us who have suffered oppression first-hand=
are the real experts in this struggle.<br><br>And we=E2=80=99ll take an in=
tersectional approach to building power with and investing in the leadershi=
p of incarcerated Black and Brown organizers. We know immigration detention=
is an outgrowth of the racist mass prison system, and as someone who=E2=80=
=99s been incarcerated by both the prison system and ICE, I know in my hear=
t we=E2=80=99ll need to tackle these systems as one in order to reach true =
collective freedom.<br><br><span style=3D"font-family: inherit; font-size: =
12pt;">The bottom line is this: When Black people are free, we will all be =
free. That's why we=E2=80=99ll work to support and follow the leadership of=
Black abolitionists and leaders fighting the criminal injustice system.<br=
><br></span>So, what does all of this mean?<br><br>For starters, we=E2=80=
=99ll eventually be launching organizing work, as well as advocacy at the i=
ntersection of the prison and immigration systems in order to prevent more =
people from being transferred to ICE, among other exciting new programs.<br=
><br>It also means we=E2=80=99ll be winding down some of our existing progr=
ams to make room for this new growth. We=E2=80=99re making internal shifts =
to ensure our work is focused, sustainable for our staff, and adaptable to =
the ever-changing needs of directly impacted people.<br><br>To help bring o=
ur vision to life, we=E2=80=99ve also crafted a three-year strategic plan. =
This plan provides a clear blueprint for how we=E2=80=99ll continue to buil=
d an organization that is resilient and truly led by currently and formerly=
incarcerated people.<br><br>You can read our full <a href=3D"[link removed]

Dear Friend,
Today, I’m filled with joy to introduce to you the new Freedom for Immigrants (FFI)!
When I began this journey as FFI’s Executive Director a year ago, I understood that much needed to change in order to ensure our organization’s work was consistent with my own experiences and beliefs.
Our team agreed change was necessary, and together, we embarked on a transformative process we affectionately called “chrysalis.”
I’m happy to report we are now emerging from our “cocoon” with bold plans to restructure FFI and re-center our work around our communities and an expansive vision of abolition.
To us, abolition means love, collective care, abundance, and interdependence. It means actively creating a world in which Black people, Indigenous people, and People of Color can not only live in safety, but thrive and lead dignified lives. A world in which everyone enjoys their fundamental right to freedom of movement!
To reach this vision, we’re going to organize alongside our incarcerated comrades. We’ll disrupt and agitate the detention machine from inside the house.
Crucially, we’ll follow the leadership of directly impacted people. After all, those of us who have suffered oppression first-hand are the real experts in this struggle.
And we’ll take an intersectional approach to building power with and investing in the leadership of incarcerated Black and Brown organizers. We know immigration detention is an outgrowth of the racist mass prison system, and as someone who’s been incarcerated by both the prison system and ICE, I know in my heart we’ll need to tackle these systems as one in order to reach true collective freedom.
The bottom line is this: When Black people are free, we will all be free. That's why we’ll work to support and follow the leadership of Black abolitionists and leaders fighting the criminal injustice system.
So, what does all of this mean?
For starters, we’ll eventually be launching organizing work, as well as advocacy at the intersection of the prison and immigration systems in order to prevent more people from being transferred to ICE, among other exciting new programs.
It also means we’ll be winding down some of our existing programs to make room for this new growth. We’re making internal shifts to ensure our work is focused, sustainable for our staff, and adaptable to the ever-changing needs of directly impacted people.
To help bring our vision to life, we’ve also crafted a three-year strategic plan. This plan provides a clear blueprint for how we’ll continue to build an organization that is resilient and truly led by currently and formerly incarcerated people.
You can read our full mission statement and theory of change here, and our strategic plan here.
And don’t forget — we’ll be holding a town hall where I’m looking forward to talking about the future with supporters like you. RSVP for the 6pm ET session here and the 6pm PT session here.
You’ll often hear me say, “We need to move with the movement.” What this really means is that we need to be ready to adapt our strategies to the unique and ever-changing needs of the community.
I’m confident the new FFI sets us up to do exactly that!
Onward,
Laura Hernández
Executive Director
