Who We Are

Interfaith Movement for Human Integrity (IM4HI) is a multi-faith organization working for the dignity and full inclusion of immigrants and people impacted by incarceration. We believe that every person is sacred across bars and borders and we bring voice and leadership to social movements to ensure the full humanity of every individual and the holistic well-being of our communities.

Today, IM4HumanIntegrity works in two issue areas at the intersection of racial equity and human rights: immigrant justice and criminal justice reform. We organize faith actions of solidarity, use public witness to shape the general understanding of the issue, and work in coalition with partners to bring a faith perspective to policy advocacy. We develop the leadership capacity, power and engagement of impacted immigrants and those formerly incarcerated and people of faith.
