BUILDING OUR PEOPLE

At NAKASEC, we believe in community-led advocacy. Collective action builds power and affects positive, systemic change for everyone. We believe that social movements are built from the grassroots or bottom up. For this reason, we engage our most vulnerable community members through active listening sessions, one on one’s, and intentional community building activities, campaigns and events.

“NAKASEC helped me feel cared for by a community and taught me that no one should be denied basic human rights because of their immigration status. I feel I now have the courage to advocate for marginalized people and help my community in the same way they helped me!”

“I have so much respect for the resilience, spirit, and courage of these young people and will continue to volunteer and help for as long as my health permits.”
