Migrant Action is a grassroots migration justice organisation committed to the equity of migrant rights and justice through the provision of direct practical support and enabling transformative systemic change.
Developing and sustaining community-led partnerships that interrogate systemic barriers whilst empowering migrants to overcome systemic injustice and fulfil their dreams, is integral to Migrant Action’s values, vision and strategy for migration justice. Our transformative partnerships are intentional, creating opportunities for radical reimagining, reclaiming leadership by lived experience and inspiring collaborative resourcing of migration justice. Through transformative partnerships, we shift the discourse of migration and migrant support from vulnerability and ‘Dependency’ to liberation and Independence.
It is against this backdrop, that Migrant Action and the Centre for African Excellence (CAE), in 2025, will be working collaboratively to re-imagine employment support provision to migrants in England and Wales. The new partnership envisions pathways to ‘Economic and liberative Justice’ that integrates employment and entrepreneurial support. It incorporates workers and employers’ rights awareness,
community organising, employment advocacy including legal advocacy, post- recruitment and career development & progression support, (mentoring, coaching, internships, apprenticeships, etc). Our new Economic Justice interventions would prevent migrant workers from becoming ‘tools’ for routine labour extraction whilst enabling their liberation from exploitative profit regimes. Our migration economic justice partnership would also create an enabling environment for community resilience and building civic power for influencing transformational change.
Through this partnership and wider collaboration with migrant workers unions, community organisers,
migrant rights and legal justice-based organisations, Migrant Action envisions a new political economy of migration underpinned by migrant economic justice, community organising and civic power for influencing systemic change.
