Mission

The mission of Proyecto Faro/The Lighthouse Project, an immigrant-led organizing effort, is to help build a community in which all people can live without fear or anxiety. Working to galvanize support and action among those in Rockland County who feel insecure due to their immigration status, we strive to create solidarity across boundaries of legal status, country of origin, and secular and religious affiliation. We are committed to acting as a lighthouse in the midst of the storm, walking hand in hand with all refugees and undocumented neighbors who are navigating hostile waters with the goal of helping all to find solid ground. We are motivated in part by the spirit shared across religious boundaries, that our God commands us to love our neighbors as ourselves.
