Advocacy

Our organizing and advocacy work is shaped by the stories and patterns of systemic abuse that we hear through our relationships with community members, leaders, partner agencies and through our legal program.

Overview:

Our Advocacy Program does this work in 4 main ways: 

  1. Grassroots Community Organizing

  2. Narrative Change

  3. Coalition Partners

  4. Civic Engagement

We do this work to center the voices of immigrants and refugees, create a more positive narrative, transform unjust systems, and build a powerful movement for immigrants’ rights at all levels.
