AFIRE organizing is a strategy to intentionally create the conditions to learn, grow, build, and move towards a shared vision of liberation for immigrants, workers, domestic workers, queer and trans people, and oppressed peoples everywhere. Our organizing builds power, moves in partnership and solidarity, and grows confident leaders that address the issues impacting our communities.

Seeding AFIRE is a community education space for AFIRE members and extended community to gather and engage in topics that inform and impact our work. Seeding AFIRE creates the space for AFIRE members and community to engage with facilitators, learn more, and connect directly with one another. Most importantly, Seeding AFIRE is a space to reflect on personal connections to larger, oppressive systems, and critically assess our roles inside of them.
