We Build Immigrant Youth Power
The Student Immigrant Movement (SIM) is a political home for working-class, undocumented, and immigrant youth, ages 14-26, in Massachusetts. We are a membership-led organization that builds power to advance racial, economic, and social justice. We do this by developing the leadership of immigrant youth across the state through community organizing, political education, and cultural activism.

Our Vision For The World We Are Building
We imagine a world where immigrant youth and all marginalized communities can live with dignity, respect, and freedom, beyond the identities forced on us, beyond borders, beyond status, and beyond the barriers that hold us back.
Stories from the field
Finding My Voice and Potential
“When I first started SIM in 2020, I had only known organizing in the context of activism or through small stints of volunteering. I came in ready to learn and to re-enter into organizing work that focuses greatly on immigration, and met much more than that. I was thrust into the world of youth leadership, and for the first time; in a long time, I felt seen, heard, and welcomed. I could see and feel how the work that I was doing was directly formed from my family, friends, and my experience. Through SIM I learned to love and embrace organizing , so much so, that I became a full time organizer. Now, SIM is family, a safe space and a friend space. The relationships I have formed through SIM will be long standing ones!”
