About Us
Breakthrough is an international human rights organization that uses education, pop culture and original media to promote values of dignity, equality and justice.
Our current campaign in the United States aims to show that current immigration policies are unconstitutional, unnecessary and demean all of us who are proud to live in America. We have video stories, animations, speeches, comedy shows and an upcoming video game, “ICED! I Can End Deportation” on these issues.
Our current campaign in India, "Is This Justice?" aims to bring attention to the growing incidence of stigma and discrimination faced by women living with HIV/AIDS in India. In addition, our campaign, “What Kind of Man Are You? asks men to wear condoms to protect their wives from the infection. 2 million women in India are infected with HIV/AIDS—and most of them have contracted it from their husbands.

Immigration Video Game Launches : ICED - I Can End Deportation Video Game
Breakthrough's video game, ICED, puts you in the shoes of an immigrant to illustrate how unfair immigration laws deny due process and violate human rights. These laws affect all immigrants: legal residents, those fleeing persecution, students and undocumented people.
Please play and forward to groups and friends! www.icedgame.com
