Saving Lives With Water On The U.S.–Mexico Border (AJ+)

Border Angels is a nonprofit organization that advocates for human rights, humane immigration reform, and social justice with a special focus on issues related to the US-Mexican border.

Our Mission

Border Angels promotes a culture of love through advocacy, education, by creating a social consciousness, and engaging in direct action to defend the rights of migrants and refugees.

Our History

Border Angels was established in 1986 and initially focused on helping farmworker migrants that were living in the canyons of North San Diego County. Since then, our work has expanded to include humanitarian work along the entire US-Mexico border.

Our Work

We conduct water drops in the desert, support migrant shelters in Tijuana, Mexico, reach out to day laborers, free asylum seekers from detention, provide legal representation to vulnerable children in order to obtain green cards, and coordinate educational programs and community presentations.

Immigrant Advocacy and Community Organizing

At our core, all of us at Border Angels believe in a culture of love. It is fundamental to promote compassion and educate our community. We continue to stand up for the most vulnerable and denouncing hate through various forms and platforms of immigrant advocacy and community organizing. We partner with other organizations to ensure our immigrant families are spoken for and protected.
