Binational Deportee Program
Al Otro Lado’s Binational Deportee Program is dedicated to empowering deportees and returnees, building community and educating individuals on their rights. We focus on providing social services, know your rights workshops, creative workshops and legal clinics. We also aim to destigmatize deportation and create spaces where deportees, returnees and their families can share their stories and transform their shame into empowerment.
We partner with multiple deportee serving organizations with the aim to assist and empower deportees all around Mexico.
Deportees and Returnees, please help us understand your needs by completing this survey.*
This survey serves as a tool for us to understand what social services the community needs, and it allows us to screen individuals for legal opportunities.
