About Borderlands Resource Initiative
Borderlands Resource Initiative is transforming how Phoenix responds to immigration enforcement- centering compassion, knowledge, and solidarity. We build coalitions, expand community capacity, and work directly with impacted migrants to protect their rights and preserve family unity.
BRI’s vision is a society transformed by the strength and resilience of asylum seekers and migrants. Our role in this vision is to demonstrate the possibilities when our communities and policies are rooted in dignity, respect, and transformative justice.

"The Borderlands Resource Initiative will be a beacon of hope for migrants navigating complex circumstances. Beth Strano's dedication to migrant rights and her instrumental role in driving impactful initiatives are a testament to the transformative potential of compassionate leadership within migrant advocacy. As a formerly undocumented migrant, I wish I had a Beth when my mother and I were on our migrant journey. Her hands-on approach, coupled with a deep understanding of the challenges faced by migrants, ensures that our initiatives address immediate needs and also contribute to lasting solutions."

"Beth Strano [from Borderlands Resource Initiative] is great! She is a thought partner, and someone you can trust to explain the processes and help you analyze what improvements can be made in your programs. Her support has allowed me to identify new opportunities for Good Neighbor Settlement House, including enhancing current practices and implementing new ones."
