Program accomplishments

  • MIJ's program accomplishments include successful administrative and policy advocacy ensuring economic security, food security, and health care justice for low-income Arizonans statewide; successful civil rule change advocacy ensuring the availability of resources to support access to justice; and protection of Arizona consumers from predatory financial and lending practices. MIJ remains engaged in ongoing advocacy efforts with Arizona State Government officials to improve the administration of public benefits and entitlements programs and services. All of MIJ's program activities broadly serve low-income Arizonans, communities of color, immigrants and new Americans living in Arizona, and vulnerable Ariona youth, among other populations experiencing disproportionate harm from systemic problems affecting access to basic needs. MIJs programs address systemic problems affecting vulnerable Arizonans access to economic security, food and nutrition, health care, housing, the courts and government systems, and due process in the administration of public programs and services.
