Comités populares, or Popular Committees, are groups of concerned citizens that want to make a change in their community, keep their community safe by knowing and defending immigrant rights, and organize the people from their community. “Comité populares” is a grassroots organizing model where leadership is developed, education on social justice and policy issues is used to empower, and organizing is promoted as the main method of moving communities forward.

​

IAJE supports the work of 6 comités populares: Delta region, Carthage, Laurel, Forest, Morton, Utica, Crystal Springs, and Hazelhurst.
