Supporting immigrant rights means supporting policies that are anti-racist and anti-poverty, and advocating for our immigrant neighbors to be afforded basic human rights, safety, and security. The DC Immigrant Justice Platform seeks to highlight the interconnectedness of all of these issues, which these policy initiatives seek to address.

Our current priorities:

• Pass permanent legislation to support recently-arrived migrants that is resettlement-focused
• Pass permanent legislation to expand ID and driver’s license access to immigrant communities
• Ensure swift implementation of:
  • Local Residents Voting Rights Amendment Act
  • Domestic Worker Employment Rights Amendment Act
  • Street Vendor Advancement Amendment Act
• Register thousands of noncitizen voters to participate in elections in 2024!
