Root Causes of US Migration

The Root Causes Initiative, co-led by the Hope Border Institute and Faith in Action International, is a network of faith-based and grassroots organizations and religious leaders from El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico and the United States working to resolve the underlying conditions forcing people to migrate from Central America. We are organizing to channel U.S. foreign assistance through local community-based organizations, around priorities set by civil society, and to create safe and legal pathways for people to migrate. Long-term sustainable community-led development is a key goal of our Root Causes Platform, supported by 340 organizations and religious leaders across the region.
