Tailored Support that Centers Your Communities

Taproot Research Collective was founded to fill a critical gap in the immigrant justice field.

Bridging on-the-ground experience with a rigorous research background, our team understands your mission and vision as an immigrant justice organization — and how to support it.

With more than a decade of experience in immigration law and policy, service provision, and program management, we understand the complexity of the immigration system, the challenges and constraints faced by immigrant justice organizations, and how to communicate this complexity to external stakeholders.

We turn numbers and narratives into actionable insights that build trust, secure funding, and inspire change.

We co-create solutions that reflect the values and lived experiences of your staff and the communities you serve. Individuals and communities impacted by immigration, detention, and deportation policy are always at the center of our work.

Taproots are large, central root structures that grow deep into the ground. They help anchor plants into the soil, providing stability, wind resistance, and deeper access to water and nutrients. Resilient and adaptable, they support many plants that provide food and shelter for migratory animals on their long journeys.

Taproot Research Collective was named with this idea as our guiding principle — to provide deep and targeted support to immigrant justice organizations as they in turn help immigrant communities thrive. Together, we can work towards a collective vision of immigrant justice.
