KNOWLEDGE IS ADVOCACY

We call ourselves “advocates” for a reason: our immigrant community needs allies who will advocate on their behalf. But effective advocacy requires knowledge that is rooted in truth and law.

Within these pages are answers to the questions we are most often asked and links to trusted resources and partner organizations.

It is our hope the information and resources provided help inform and build confidence so you can use your voice to advocate for the dignity, safety, and visibility of all immigrants.
