Immigrant Workers Freedom Ride Coalition (IWFRC)'s Visual Map


  • Supports expanded rights and civil liberties protections for illegal immigrants
  • Seeks the dissolution of U.S. borders
  • Opposes the War in Iraq and the Patriot Act


The Immigrant Workers Freedom Ride Coalition (IWFRC) was formed to defend the rights of immigrants -- legal and illegal. Named after, and ostensibly inspired by, the civil rights "freedom riders" of the 1960s, IWFCR supports amnesty for illegal aliens already residing in the United States, and advocates immigration policy reforms that include no provisions for any restrictions on future immigration.

Seeking to draw "a new map for the road to citizenship," IWFRC has garnered the support of many hundreds of prominent groups and individuals. More than two-dozen individuals and organizations are listed as members of its National Sponsoring Committee, including: ACORN, the Gamaliel Foundation, the National Council of La Raza, the National Immigration Forum, the National Immigration Law Center, the Service Employees International Union, United for Peace and Justice, USAction and the United States Student Association.

Other organizational endorsers include the American Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, the American Immigration Lawyers Association, the American Civil Liberties Union, the Bill of Rights Defense Committee, the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC), the Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the National Lawyers Guild (NLG), Radical Women, the Rainbow / PUSH Coalition, the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, International ANSWER, the American Friends Service Committee, Border Action Network, Peace Action, Citizen Action, the Democratic Socialists of America, the Council on American Islamic Relations, Global Exchange, the International Socialist Organization, ISAIAH, MADRE, MECha, the Muslim Public Affairs Council, the National Council of Women’s Organizations, the National Organization for Women, Not In Our Name, the Puerto Rican Legal Defense and Education Fund, the South Carolina Progressive Network, the Workers World Party, and the Yale Coalition for Peace.

Individual endorsers include Noam Chomsky, Robert Greenwald, Tom Hayden, Susan SarandonMartin Sheen, Howard Zinn, Dennis Kucinich, Charles Rangel, Maurice Hinchey, Nydia Velazquez, Major Owens, Jim McDermott, Barbara Lee, Hilda Solis, Antonio Villaraigosa, Bob Filner, and Maxine Waters.

IWFRC is opposed to the war in Iraq and to the Patriot Act.
