Initiatives
Immigration Justice Campaign
The primary goal of the Justice Campaign is to increase access to legal counsel for thousands of immigrants held in detention centers. To achieve this, the Campaign is building a broad network of pro bono allies to serve the many thousands of detained individuals who would otherwise go unrepresented and training private lawyers with new tactics and strategies to enable them to vigorously defend immigrants facing removal.
Center for Inclusion & Belonging
After two decades of fighting at the forefront of meaningful legal and policy change, the American Immigration Council will activate its mission statement in new and innovative ways to respond to deepening divides and harness the power of a new group of thinkers and doers not usually engaged on our issue.

We support J-1 hosts who bring on interns and trainees.
State & Local Initiatives
We work with civic and business leaders to build more welcoming communities across the country from the ground up.
