Immigration Advocacy Public Policy Program
A Rights-Based Approach to Immigration Support
At FAD Foundation, our Immigration Advocacy & Public Policy Program supports immigrants, refugees, asylum seekers, detainees, and other newcomers through public education, rights awareness, community guidance, and advocacy on the policy issues that affect their lives.
We believe immigration support must be grounded in dignity, accurate information, equitable access, and a strong understanding of the systems people are being asked to navigate. We also believe policy matters: the rules, delays, barriers, and decisions built into immigration systems have real human consequences for families and communities.
Who We Support
- Immigrants and newcomers
- Refugees and asylum seekers
- Families navigating immigration-related processes
- Individuals seeking citizenship readiness support
- Community members needing workshops, referrals, and rights information
- Partners working on newcomer inclusion and immigration justice
