Advocating for Ourselves

Policy Work

Our organization has taken an active role in immigrant justice policy advocacy on the national and state level.  In 2024, we successfully advocated against anti-immigrant bill HB376 - we mobilized over 50 people to show up at legislative committee meetings each week.  We worked in coalition with organizations across the state to fight this bill and spread the word - we had over 580 people call or email their legislators.  We are also active members of several national networks to connect our community leaders with the national fight for immigration reform.​

Civic Participation

ACIJ was established in the wake of HB 56 in 2011, when immigrants were targeted at our homes, jobs, and schools. From that moment on, we have worked to nurture the civic life of our communities. We want everyone to know that, regardless of their immigration status, they have civic rights and are important members of the social fabric of our state.

We are engaging immigrant communities in the most important civic duties, from registering to vote, voting locally and nationally, completing the census, and being active in our neighborhoods, towns, and schools.
