The IAF is the nation’s largest and oldest organizing network, with 50+ affiliate organizations across the United States. The IAF’s victories include bringing running water to tens of thousands of homes in the immigrant communities of the Texas Rio Grande Valley and sponsoring one of the first and largest community-run affordable housing projects ever in New York City. More recently, the IAF agitated state legislatures in California to allow undocumented immigrants to be eligible for covid tax return money, as well as killing a $10B tax abatement program in Texas meant for oil and gas corporations.The IAF style of relational organizing leads to long lasting power organizations that give community members the strength to stand as equals with elected officials and business leaders as they advocate for themselves.
