Description
Immigrants have long been a source of strength for the nation—driving business creation, fueling innovation, and strengthening communities. Meanwhile, competitors in the global economy recruit talented immigrants away from the United States because there are too few options for them to stay here despite the need for labor. Launched in 2013 by Mark Zuckerberg and other leaders in the technology sector, FWD.us is a bipartisan policy organization that believes America’s families, communities, and economy thrive when more individuals are able to achieve their full potential. Leaders in the tech and business communities see an important opportunity to help fix the outdated legal immigration system and reimagine border security. FWD.us is one of the few national voices dedicated to expanding opportunities for science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) workers, international students, and other individuals who can immediately contribute to the innovation economy. With Corporation support, FWD.us will leverage its deep policy and research expertise, strong relationships with the business community, and direct access to key decision makers to build consensus and develop solutions for the future of legal immigration reform.
