The Massachusetts Immigrant & Refugee Advocacy Coalition (MIRA) is a Boston-based nonprofit that advocates for the rights and opportunities of immigrants and refugees. It coordinates education, leadership development, organizing, policy analysis, and advocacy through its broad network of member organizations. As a multi-ethnic, multi-racial coalition, it brings together hundreds of grassroots groups, service providers, religious groups, and human rights organizations to address immigration issues, and it is described as the only organization in Massachusetts that unites such diverse groups. The organization seeks to influence public policy and civic participation by building capacity, providing technical assistance, educating communities, and mobilizing leaders to speak with a coordinated voice on relevant issues. Recent activity includes participation in the 29th Immigrants Day at the Massachusetts State House in March 2025, illustrating ongoing engagement in advocacy.
