Siembra NC

What Siembra NC does

Siembra NC is a grassroots nonprofit organization founded in 2017 and headquartered in Raleigh, North Carolina, with primary operating presence in Durham. The organization provides direct defense, legal education, and advocacy services to North Carolina's Latino immigrant communities, which it estimates at over 1.2 million people statewide. Its core service lines include the Defensa Hotline (La Migra Hotline, 336-543-0353) for reporting ICE activity and wage theft, the 4th Amendment Workplace initiative that trains employers on constitutional protections against immigration enforcement, workers' rights toolkits, political education resources, electoral organizing, and COVID-19 mutual aid. The organization does not operate a proprietary technology platform; service delivery is conducted through a phone hotline, the siembranc.org website with downloadable bilingual toolkits, and active social media channels across Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, X/Twitter, YouTube, and Bluesky. The 4th Amendment Workplace model has been adopted by 30 Durham businesses and endorsed by the Durham City Council.

The organization operates on a donations-and-grants revenue model, accepting contributions through ActBlue and maintaining a 'Fondo de Solidaridad' (Solidarity Fund) for affected community members. All services are provided free of charge to community members. Siembra NC is a member of the Mijente national Latinx organizing network and partners with the NC Justice Center (workers' rights content), Church World Service (financial assistance referrals), El Futuro (mental health services), and Sunrise Movement (campus organizing). The organization has helped workers recover over $280,000 in stolen wages through organizing and direct action in 2023 and 2024.

Siembra NC has been featured in major national outlets including The New York Times, CNN, The Guardian, Rolling Stone, NPR, Democracy Now, CBS News, and Telemundo, and operates with a small staff of 11-50 employees. Its model combines rapid-response community defense with longer-term electoral and political-education capacity building, positioning it as both a service provider and a base-building political organization within North Carolina's Latinx community.
