• Detailed Information

  • The California Immigrant Policy Center (CIPC) is a leading statewide immigrant rights organization that advocates for policies that protect and advance the rights of immigrants and their families throughout California. CIPC combines policy advocacy, strategic communications, statewide organizing, and regional coalition capacity building to pursue its mission of advocating for policies that uphold the humanity of immigrants while advancing racial, social, and economic justice.

    For the past 25 years, CIPC has played a central role in advancing a progressive statewide immigrant justice agenda. In that time, CIPC helped pass 30 pro-immigrant laws in the state, including: The Safe and Responsible Driver Act, the TRUST Act, the One California initiative, the E-Verify Bill and the Health for All Kids and Health for All 50+, among others — signature legislative accomplishments propelled by the organization’s ability to coordinate, convene and mobilize a broad and diverse array of advocates towards a common goal.

    
    

    POLICY

    - Health and Public Benefits: Every Californian should have access to what they need to be healthy and thrive. We partner with coalitions of advocates, state agencies, stakeholders, and community members to champion policies that promote access to health and human services. Together, we can uplift the principle that health is a human right.

    - Economic Justice: We believe that all Californians should have the tools they need to meaningfully support themselves, their families, and achieve economic mobility on their own terms. We strive to create an equitable state economy and financial safety net that explicitly addresses disparities based on race and immigration status.

    - Detention and Deportation: We work to challenge the criminalization of immigrant communities, disrupt the arrest to deportation pipeline, and end state support for ICE and detention centers. We do this work with a racial justice lens and in partnership with grassroots organizations and coalitions across California.

    
    

    
    

    ORGANIZING

    - Immigrant Day of Action: Every year at IDA, we bring advocates, community members, constituents, and allies from across the state to Sacramento to urge the governor and legislature to make bold, equitable public investments for a strong, sustainable economy that works for ALL of us.

    - Regional Capacity Building Project: We convene a cohort of local immigrant rights organizations across California through the Regional Capacity Building Project (RCBP) to bring the power and experience of people on the ground to social justice work at the state and regional levels.

    
    
    
    

    COMMUNICATIONS: In order to enact bold policies that protect and advance the rights of immigrant community members in California, CIPC upholds strategic communications as a vital lever of change alongside policy advocacy, statewide organizing, and regional coalition capacity building.

    CIPC’s communications team works to:

    - Center the voices and lived experiences of immigrants and their families to ensure they have a voice in Sacramento

    - Advance innovative narrative strategies that challenge harmful language and foster a deeper understanding of immigrant needs to push for policy changes that would strengthen the infrastructure of California

    - Cultivate a digital community centered on accessible resource and knowledge sharing on a variety of social media platforms

    - Facilitate access to critical information and analyses for community members, journalists, and other stakeholders throughout California and across the country

    - Conduct groundbreaking messaging research at the intersection of organizing and communications to facilitate transformative narrative change
