Hispanic / Latino

We are a  migrant-centered, immigrant-led movement working to protect, support,  and empower communities across Delaware. From launching our multilingual  hotline to organizing rapid response and community trainings,  everything we do is rooted in care, justice, and collective action. Together, we are building a future where all migrants are safe, heard, and free to thrive.  At the Delaware  Coalition for Immigrant Justice, we are dedicated to defending the  rights and dignity of migrants in Delaware. Our values of justice, love,  and collective care drive our work to ensure safety, power, and  belonging for all, with a focus on Black, Brown, and Indigenous migrant  communities. 

Our mission is to uphold the impact and needs of the Delaware Hispanic community.

Founded in 1996 to stand as a beacon of hope for the increasing number of immigrants in Sussex County, La Esperanza has evolved into a multiservice nonprofit focused on building empowerment among Latinos and immigrant families in Southern Delaware. Our bilingual and bicultural staff support our mission to assist Sussex County Latinos and immigrants on their journey to achieve stability, integration and success.

The mission of La Plaza is to:

• Expand capacity, opportunities and prosperity for minority-owned businesses in Kent and Sussex County.
• Foster business and financial empowerment for communities of color.
• Train leaders among young professionals and entrepreneurs to prepare  them as influential individuals, agents of change, and role models in  the community in order to increase their political and economic power.
