Celebrating over 20 years of fighting for immigrants
Families for Freedom is a New York- based multi-ethnic human rights organization by and for families facing deportation.
Families for Freedom, a Black-led organization founded in 2002 seeks to disrupt the policies that create trauma in the homes of minority neighborhoods and dismantle the mass incarceration/deportation systems. We serve as a guiding voice in the rapid need for just policies against unjust criminal systems. Locally and nationally, we provide support, education, advocacy, and campaigns for all individuals directly affected.
FFF has evolved into an organizing center against deportation, and supporting migrants in the city by providing them with essential items such as clothing, coats , blankets, shoes etc. We are a source of support, education, and campaigns for directly affected families and communities - locally and nationally.

Campaign With Us
Families for Freedom is recognized as a preeminent organizing support center for families affected by criminalization and deportation. By centering the experience and expertise of New Yorkers at the intersection of the immigration and criminal legal systems, we contest social exclusion and develop the leadership of directly affected people in their own liberation. Resisting the labels of ‘Illegal Immigrant’ and ‘Criminal Alien’ that posit us as an exception to U.S. Civil Rights, FFF assert our common humanity by situating our work in a human rights framework (UN Declaration of Human Rights, 1948).
