This paper examines the relationship between liberation theology and religiously inspired migrant solidarity movements in Mexico. Drawing on empirical data collected through fieldwork at migrant solidarity organizations, it analyzes how theological principles inform practices of support and advocacy for migrants. The study highlights the ways in which liberation theology shapes organizational strategies, fosters collective action, and contributes to broader debates on faith-based responses to migration in the region.
