Strengthening Communities
Leadership Development
Our vision is driven by our grassroots leadership, with directly affected immigrants making the decisions on priorities and strategies to run the campaigns that are shifting power and changing lives. ACIJ has a formal Leadership Council of leaders representing immigrant communities across the state. The Leadership Council is the heart of our coalition that is driving our statewide work. Our community leaders also have the opportunity to connect with other leaders across the state to share experiences and wins, as well as collectively plan larger state and national policy campaigns.
Community Health
Our commitment to ensuring equal access to medical services involves creating environments that offer everyone a chance to live a healthy and fulfilling life. Through community health initiatives, we nurture a collective sense of responsibility, encouraging community participation and empowerment. These initiatives are health education campaigns, vaccination campaigns and access to medical services, promoting food banks and resources available to the community.
