Social justice and advocacy are essential components of creating a fair, equitable, and inclusive society where all individuals have the opportunity to thrive and live with dignity and respect. EmPower iRise is dedicated to advocating for the rights and empowerment of marginalized communities through initiatives focused on racial justice, LGBTQ+ rights, immigration reform, and human rights.
- Racial Justice: EmPower iRise recognizes the systemic injustices and inequalities that persist within societies around the world, particularly those based on race and ethnicity. We advocate for racial justice by supporting initiatives that address racial discrimination, promote racial equity, and dismantle structural barriers that perpetuate racial disparities. This includes advocating for policy reforms, supporting community organizing efforts, and promoting racial sensitivity and cultural competence.

- Immigration Reform: EmPower iRise recognizes the importance of comprehensive immigration reform that respects the dignity and rights of immigrants and refugees. We advocate for immigration reform by supporting initiatives that promote fair and just immigration policies, protect the rights of immigrants and refugees, and provide pathways to citizenship for undocumented individuals. This includes advocating for DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) protections, supporting refugee resettlement programs, and providing legal assistance to immigrants facing deportation.
- Human Rights: EmPower iRise is committed to upholding and protecting the fundamental rights and freedoms of all individuals, regardless of nationality, ethnicity, religion, gender, or socioeconomic status. We advocate for human rights by supporting initiatives that promote civil liberties, combat human trafficking, and protect vulnerable populations such as women, children, and refugees. This includes advocating for the ratification and enforcement of international human rights treaties, supporting human rights monitoring and documentation efforts, and providing legal assistance to victims of human rights violations.
