Navigate MN aka UNIDOS MN Twin Cities Metro
Unidos MN (also known as Navigate MN) is a grassroots organization that builds power for Minnesota’s working families to advance social gender, racial and economic justice for all. Our lived experiences as immigrants mean that immigration, education, and climate justice are at the core of our campaigns and programs. Our intersectional realities center the lives of immigrant and first-generation youth, mixed-status Latinx families, GBLTQ, and differently-abled folks. We are an intersectional, intergenerational, women, queer, Latinx-led organization committed to social justice.
