Friend, we have exciting news to share: 

We have been selected as a finalist in three categories for the Shorty Impact Awards!

This recognition honors the heart of our work — fighting for immigrant justice through bold storytelling and advocacy. From breaking down complex policies to mobilizing people to take action, we’ve used every tool at our disposal to defend and advance the rights of low-income immigrants.

Now we need your help to win! Please take a moment to vote for NILC in these three categories:

• Medium Length Video: This summer, we produced a bilingual video with renowned illustrator Molly Crabapple that takes a big picture look at our immigration system, asking how we got to our present moment and who benefits from keeping the public divided. It has been viewed by over 1.5 million people and counting. Your vote amplifies this work and gets our message in front of even more people.

• Immigration & Refugees: Our video was also nominated in the Immigration & Refugees category, recognizing our broader fight for justice, dignity, and rights for immigrant communities. Your vote affirms this mission and helps us continue building power through storytelling and advocacy.

• Instagram: This year, we transformed our Instagram into a powerful tool for action — growing our audience from 19K to 55.8K, increasing engagement by 2,767%, and reaching over 22 million views. We produced timely resources, helped communities navigate fast-moving political developments, and mobilized people across the country. Your vote helps us keep reaching communities online when it matters most.

You can vote once per entry, every day, so keep coming back to show your support! Winning these awards would give NILC a louder megaphone to defend immigrant communities and strengthen our fight for lasting change. Your votes today can help make that difference.

Thank you for your support,

— National Immigration Law Center
