Description
In addition to terminating humanitarian protections for hundreds of thousands of immigrants and attempting to suspend refugee resettlement efforts, the federal government has been making the legal immigration systemmore difficult to access. Moreover, federal stimulus packages aimed at alleviating the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has largely excluded immigrant communities, despite immigrants comprising an outsized share of the essential workforce. Founded in 1968 by leaders of the civil rights, labor, and anti-poverty movements, the Center for Community Change (“Community Change”) leads a national network of forty state-based organizations working to empower immigrant communities. With Corporation support, Community Change will provide training, capacity building, and opportunities for collaboration among state and local organizations working to increase civic participation among racial minorities, immigrants, and low-income people.

Description
In the coming years, given some of the rhetoric of the 2016 campaign, immigrant communities are anticipating a number of increased threats, including harsh enforcement, deportation, and the separation of families. It is urgent, now more than ever, that immigrant advocates continue to educate and activate voters and strengthen their ties with diverse non-immigrant communities—especially low-income African American and white communities. With renewed Corporation support, the Center for Community Change (CCC) provides technical support, training, capacity building, and opportunities for collaboration among state and local groups throughout the country working to increase civic participation among low-income people, minorities, and citizen immigrants.
