Empowering Multicultural Communities Alliance (EMCA) has joined Citizens Rights Project (CRP) and the Worker’s Observatory (WO) to create the collective Migrant Justice Edinburgh.
This collective was born as part of the application process to the Regenerative Future Fund (RFF), a long-term community fund aimed to shift the decision-making power into the hands of those most excluded from this process, fostering lasting change through the lens of intersectionality, tackling racism and poverty while keeping the focus on just transition solutions.
We are thrilled to announce that MJE’s proposed project—to build solidarity, organise, and take collective action among migrants across the city— has been selected for the capacity-building phase that will take place between August 2025 and January 2026.
During this period, MJE will be able to pilot what our proposed 10-year project could look like. Our proposal places migrant voices, workers, and deprived and impoverished neighbourhoods at the centre of our strategy by developing and embedding a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach throughout.
We will also have the opportunity to work closely with 30+ organisations from across Edinburgh—fellow members of the cohort— which will greatly enrich our understanding of the city.
Are you curious to know more about what we’re preparing? Feel free to contact us!
