What We Work For

We believe that all children, youth, and families—including those who are immigrants—deserve the chance to thrive in their communities.

Impact

Results and Desired Outcomes

It is our hope that this work will ensure immigrants and their families have equal opportunity as others in the United States and that they will have access to the services and support they need to thrive.

Process

How We Do It

We advocate for inclusive policies at the local, state, and federal levels that support immigrant and mixed status families, and we fight against policies and practices that harm and marginalize immigrant families.

We work to ensure families are safe, healthy, and thriving in their communities; are able to stay safely together; and are well-served by the public systems with which they interact. This includes supporting immigrant families in being able to access these systems without fear of discrimination, surveillance, detention, or deportation.Through our policy analysis and partnerships, we uplift the experiences of immigrant communities and advocate for inclusive policies that recognize the importance of supporting and promoting the health and wellbeing of all families.
