Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

Colectiva Legal del Pueblo is a non-hierarchal collective organization founded for and by undocumented immigrants working to build community leadership and power for migrant justice through legal advocacy and education. Our mission is to build the power of Latino and working class communities to achieve dignity and justice through advocacy, education, and legal services. Low-income and immigrant communities face the greatest barriers to justice. We seek to provide access to free and/or low-cost, quality, respectful legal services for low-income immigrant people. We also seek to build coalitions across community lawyering organizations in the northwest and between local community groups. We believe that justice should not be determined by wealth, citizenship, language or age and are committed to representing low-income, people of color and disadvantaged individuals and communities who otherwise would not have legal representation.

  • Provide low-cost or free legal immigration services to individuals and families in need for such services. Colectiva provided legal services to 1,128 clients in 2023 and opened 154 new cases

    Expenses $854,126 · Revenue $50,290

  • Colectiva runs several community-oriented programs for immigrant families in Washington including emergent financial assistance programs, food, clothing and diaper pantry as well as peer facilitated support group services. In 2023, Colectiva distributed $52,460 in emergency financial aid. Colectiva also put on 3 in person legal clinics focused on helping community members fill our pro se asylum and DACA applications.

    Expenses $250,982 · Grants $56,206

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
