How they approach the work
Named approaches extracted from this org’s sources. Where others share an approach, follow it to see the full set of orgs running it.
- Coalition-Based Advocacy Across Census and Redistricting Cyclesmethodology: census_to_redistricting_continuumBy aligning census participation efforts with redistricting advocacy through broad coalitions, we secure equitable political representation for immigrant communities, because accurate population data and coordinated influence campaigns directly shape fair district boundaries and long-term political power.
- Policy-Conditioned Electoral Endorsements as Leverage for Immigrant Justicemethodology: endorsing_with_policy_conditionsBy endorsing candidates only if they commit to a comprehensive immigrant rights policy platform, we shape electoral outcomes to advance systemic change, because candidate accountability to a shared policy agenda ensures that political gains translate into concrete protections and reforms.
- Political Power-Building Through Grassroots Organizing and Electoral Engagementmethodology: immigrant_power_buildingBy organizing immigrant communities into a sustained grassroots movement and leveraging electoral advocacy—including strategic candidate endorsements—we build collective political power that advances immigrant rights and socio-economic well-being, because sustained community-led engagement increases political influence and policy responsiveness.
