The relationship between many Southwestern States in the US and Mexico is not only rooted in geographic proximity but also in deep political, cultural, and economic ties. The Mexican-American Policy Alliance (MAPA), is a collaboration to strengthen cross-border ties between the US Southwest, in particular California, and Mexico. 

As corrosive forces elevate narratives of division, anti-immigrant sentiment, and polarization attempting to drive a wedge between Mexico and the United States, Southwestern states must lead the way towards a bold 21st century vision of collective prosperity, and cultural and economic integration with our neighbor to the south.

MAPA recognizes the critical importance of strengthening this partnership and working with Mexico's executive branch, strategic ministries, the Senate, and federal and local legislative bodies to enhance cross-border dialogue, build trust, and foster joint solutions to shared challenges.
