See what we do:
Our
Mission
Make the Road Connecticut (MRCT) is an intergenerational member-led community-based organization working to build power in immigrant, Latine, and working-class communities in Connecticut to achieve dignity and justice. We do this through community organizing, legal and survival services, transformative education, and policy innovation.
Our
Vision
MRCT envisions communities where Black, Brown, immigrant, indigenous, and working-class people are treated with dignity and respect and have equitable access to housing, healthcare, education, and other systems and resources. We see children playing, neighbors sharing food, dancing, laughing, being healthy, and building strong connections to not just live but to thrive. We trust the power of organizing and fighting back against inequities, sexism, institutional racism, and all the other isms that exist in our society to deliver the changes and build the new systems our community needs.
