We believe in keeping families together and communities whole. We are committed to defending civil rights and liberties for immigrant communities and all Californians.

In the most diverse state in the country, we know our people are our most valuable resource – that includes more than 10 million immigrants. Immigrants must be treated fairly. Just like others, they deserve the opportunity to fully succeed in life. While California has taken steps to welcome those who come here seeking a better life, too many state resources are still being used to hurt our immigrant neighbors, friends, and family.

We work to ensure California officials will not be complicit in unconstitutional searches and arrests by federal immigration agents and other unjust federal policies by strengthening the firewall against sharing local information with other states and the federal government.
