Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Alliances & Advocacy, Arts & Culture
Mission: The Migrant and Immigrant Community Action Project (MICA Project) is a community organization committed to working with low-income immigrants to overcome barriers to justice. The MICA Project utilizes legal services, organizing, advocacy, and education to promote the voice and human dignity of immigrant communities.
Programs: The legal services project, sometimes called the client-centered lawyering project, is the primary focus of the organization. It requires about 75% of staff time and organizational expenses. Low-income immigrants work with the organization's attorneys on immigration-related case matters. They pay legal fees on a sliding scale that is far below market rate.
the community outreach project takes about 10% of staff time and organizational resources. The primary focus of this project is forming relationships and providing resources to immigrant communities. The staff made presentations to immigrant communities about their constitutional rights and specific immigration remedies that are available. The organization also spoke and participated in other community events.
