MICOP - Mixteco Indígena Community Organizing Project

MICOP supports, organizes and empowers the indigenous migrant communities in California’s Central Coast. 

Key programs and efforts: 

• Interpreter Services
• Puentes (Mixtec-speaking promotoras at elementary schools to provide case management, referrals, language interpretation, and parenting classes to families with children aged 0-3.)
• ACCESO (connecting indigenous families who have children aged 0-25 years with intellectual and developmental disabilities to needed services.)
• Voz de La Mujer Indigena (support for indigenous survivors of domestic violence)
• Healing the Community (integrating traditional Indigenous wellness and healing practices with local behavioral health services)
• Labor Justice, Health Advocacy, MILA ( free to very low-cost immigration legal advice)
