Dear Friend, As we close another year of important work to re-center the immigration debate around pragmatic, balanced policies that work for all of society, I want to begin with a simple but profound message: thank you. Your interest in and engagement with our work are essential to the Migration Policy Institute’s mission of sharing evidence-informed, nonpartisan research, analysis, and data as widely as possible. Day in, day out, we engage audiences through research, data sharing, and convenings—all with one aim: To shed light, not heat, in a policy area that touches on so many facets of life. Today, we are asking you to go a step further and consider supporting MPI as we freely share our knowledge, data, and ideas to help immigration work better for all parts of society. Your support can help shape the lives of immigrants, the communities that welcome them, and the broader society. Your support will allow MPI to remain a steady, trusted presence in an uncertain landscape. And you can help us ensure that evidence, humanity, and thoughtful analysis and policy ideas regain traction in the national conversation. This year, MPI has been able to respond boldly and responsibly to the challenges and opportunities that immigration presents. Our team has delivered essential, nonpartisan research on border management, the immigration enforcement system, workforce and social integration, refugee resettlement, and the well-being of families navigating complex immigration systems. We have convened national and global leaders to share solutions. We have supported local communities facing real-time pressures. And we have helped policymakers separate signal from noise in a moment when clarity is needed more than ever. Your support can help something rare: an institution that is both rigorous and compassionate, analytical and deeply human. The trust you place in us will allow us to sustain long-view research, invest in emerging areas of need, and remain agile when crises demand immediate attention. As we plan for the work ahead, I hope you will consider making a contribution. |
