Border Angels

Our Mission

Border Angels promotes a culture of love through advocacy, education, by creating a social consciousness, and engaging in direct action to defend the rights of migrants and refugees. 

Our History

Border Angels was established in 1986 and initially focused on helping farmworker migrants living in the canyons of North San Diego County. Since then, our work has expanded to include humanitarian work along the entire US-Mexico border.

Our Work

We conduct water drops in the desert, support migrant shelters in Tijuana, Mexico, conduct outreach to day laborers, pay bonds for asylum seekers in detention centers so they can live with friends and family while waiting for their court appeal, provide funding for legal representation to vulnerable children in child protective services, and provide educational programs and community presentations.
