The Make The Road Family

The Make the Road Family:

Since 2014, the highly successful Make the Road model - which originated at Make the Road New York (MRNY) - has been replicated in several other states. In four short years, the Make the Road family has grown to five organizations working in working-class Latinx neighborhoods in Connecticut, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and most recently Nevada. Broadly, Make the Road organizations build the power of immigrant and working-class communities to achieve dignity and respect through community organizing, strategic campaigns, policy innovation, and the provision of educational or legal services. Individually, each Make the Road has become a leader in their respective states on issues like immigration, education, and economic justice. Collectively, we represent over 30,000 members and reach thousands more through our actions and followings. We use a shared model and collaborate closely on campaigns, leadership development, and fundraising. The second generation Make the Roads (CT, NJ, NV, PA) are housed in the Center for Popular Democracy.
