Our Work

Through community outreach, cross-border partnerships, policy advocacy, and student scholarship, our projects translate human rights principles into action. Each initiative is student-led and grounded in service, education, and structural change.

01

Asylum & Immigration Patient Education

We provide accessible, culturally responsive informational materials for immigrant, asylum-seeking, and refugee patients at the CDU Student-Run Clinic on select Tuesdays each month. These sessions focus on rights education, health system navigation, and connecting patients to trusted legal and community resources.

02

Border Health & Humanitarian Partnership

In partnership with Refugee Health Alliance (RHA), we support humanitarian outreach efforts in Tijuana, Mexico. Students engage in cross-border health initiatives that address the urgent medical and human rights needs of displaced populations.

We participate in local and national advocacy efforts to address structural determinants of health. Our work includes collaboration with organizations such as STAND-LA and Physicians for Social Responsibility to support policy initiatives advancing environmental justice, public health equity, and immigrant rights.

Student-Led Human Rights Journal Initiative

We are launching a student-run publication dedicated to human rights in medicine. This journal will feature perspective pieces, scholarly commentary, and reflective writing that explores the intersection of healthcare, policy, ethics, and social justice.
