Voces de la frontera

Voces de la Frontera is Wisconsin’s leading immigrant rights organization and has been organizing and empowering immigrant workers and families for over 20 years. Voces began as a newspaper in Texas in 1994, reporting on and supporting maquiladora workers who were fighting for better working and living conditions as well as building tri-national solidarity between labor and civic organizations in Canada, the US, and Mexico in response to NAFTA. 

​

In 1998, Voces moved to Milwaukee and established an immigrant worker center that has played a critical role in advocating for immigrant workers rights and progressive policies, including the fight for federal immigration reform, restoring state drivers licenses and in-state tuition equity for immigrant youth, ending collaboration between ICE and local law enforcement, and fighting back against policies that criminalize immigrants and people of color.
