Friend, did you know that first and second-generation immigrants make up 15% of our elected officials in Congress? That’s a total of 81 members of Congress in the U.S. House and Senate who are either immigrants or children of immigrants.
At the NILC Immigrant Justice Fund, we are fighting tooth and nail to build immigrant political power and elect candidates who are not only pro-immigrant, but who have critical lived experience. Right now, immigrants and children of immigrants represent 25 states in Congress and that is progress we can scale.
And we need your help, Friend. Please donate today to fuel our work to elect more diverse, pro-immigrant candidates and build a government that is truly representative of all of us.
With your help, we can elect leaders who look like and reflect the diversity of our country — across the country and up and down the ballot.
Thank you for being on our team,
Bri Gillis
Vice President, Political Strategy
