Team:

Every day at NILC, we are fighting for a country where everyone is safe,
protected, and has the freedom to thrive. The roadmap of how to get there is
ambitious, but not impossible, especially with supporters like you by our side.
We kicked off 2023 by zeroing in on our top priorities and opportunities and got
to work right away. Here’s what our list looks like:

* Pushing Congress to pass a law that provides a pathway to citizenship for
immigrant youth. With DACA facing real threats in court, hundreds of
thousands of people are at risk of losing protection, the ability to work,
and potentially even being separated from their loved ones. The majority of
the public wants Congress to come together to deliver a solution, and we are
not going to let up until they do.
*
* Restoring access to asylum at the border and ending policies that endanger
people’s lives. With the expansion of Title 42 expulsions, a new asylum ban,
and reports of potentially detaining families, the Biden administration has
started down a backwards path of embracing failed deterrence policies at the
border. No matter who is in the White House, we will always stand up for
families seeking safety at our border.
*
* After years of organizing by workers and advocates, DHS issued guidance for
how immigrant workers in labor disputes with abusive employers can access
temporary protections, including work authorization and protection from
deportation. By alleviating the fear of employer retaliation, immigrant
workers will be able to report abusive conditions and that will make
workplaces safer for all workers. After being at the forefront of securing
this policy for many years, NILC is now focusing on ensuring that workers
everywhere are aware of the policy and have the ability and resources to
apply should they need to.
*
* Advancing the health and wellbeing of immigrant communities on two fronts.
First, by ensuring the Biden administration educates immigrant communities
about the new public charge rule so they can safely access health and basic
needs programs. Second, by continuing to press Congress to pass the LIFT the BAR Act and the HEAL for Immigrant Families Act , two pieces of legislation that together would restore access to necessary
health care and social services to hundreds of thousands of immigrant
families.

Our top priorities are ambitious and will take the courage, dedication, and
support of people like you for our collective mission. So, we’re asking, friend — will you add a donation to
