Overview
The National Immigration Law Center fights to preserve and amplify the voices, resilience and dignity of immigrants through bold and creative narrative and culture strategies. We build power for narratives that center the multi-dimensional experiences of immigrants while offering a vision of abundance, belonging and inclusion for us all.
We work in partnership with immigrant justice organizations, artists, and culture makers to expand our reach and visibility to bolster our advocacy efforts.
Why It Matters
Deep narratives are how we make sense of the world around us, and shared narratives shape our society and culture. Policy change is both driven by and reflective of culture. By building power for pro-immigrant narratives, we are creating the conditions for enduring social change.
