IMANC was established to promote solidarity, education, justice and peace to Iu Mien communities in the United States of America. Our coalition plans are to:
- Organize and promote an annual, national conference on social, educational, health and economical developments in collaboration with local Iu Mien organizations and community members.
- Promote the preservation and development of Iu Mien language, culture, customs and values.
- Advocate for the justice and equality in Iu Mien communities.
- Empower and promote Iu Mien women into active leadership roles.
