At the Maine Immigrants’ Rights Coalition (MIRC), our mission is to improve legal, social, and economic conditions for immigrants in the state of Maine.

MIRC brings together more than 100 organizations to form a unique statewide network representing diverse ethnic communities. These organizations, a majority of which are led by people of color, work together to foster immigrant inclusion and integration through both support programs and policies.

Founded by the Immigrant Legal Advocacy Project in 2005, the Maine Immigrants’ Rights Coalition (MIRC) has grown into a full-fledged non-profit organization dedicated to the advancement of legal, social, and economic outcomes for immigrants in the state of Maine. What began as a small but mighty group of advocates is now a unique network of over organizations united by the goal of fostering immigrant inclusion and integration through programs and policies.

Member organizations work hand in hand with each other as well as local and national partners to shape policy, share information, and collaboration with partners on community outreach and education.
