Immigrant Justice, Solidarity and Resistance

The demonstrations for immigrant justice in Los Angeles, San Francisco and across the country—and the unprecedented federal response—underscore the urgency of communities organizing, working and standing together. Californians know how vital immigrants are to our economy, culture and future. Yet, coordinated efforts are attempting to roll back hard-won equity and justice gains that help stabilize our communities and ensure that undocumented individuals and their families are treated with the dignity and respect all people deserve. The impact of these efforts on the safety and security of immigrant families and the freedoms Americans enjoy must be met with peaceful, persistent and powerful resistance. At The Center and Sierra Health Foundation, we are using every tool at our disposal—mutual aid for those in Los Angeles standing up for California's immigrants; support for grassroots organizations working to protect and defend the most vulnerable; power- and capacity-building in immigrant communities in the San Joaquin Valley and throughout the state; and deep collaboration with other funders, elected and appointed officials, residents and community leaders—to meet this moment. We act in solidarity with immigrants, California families and communities, and all who rise to resist policies of fear, division and exclusion. Stand strong. We’re with you.
