There are a number of immigrant issues facing our state and nation at any one time. NWIRP does not engage directly in advocacy work, but we encourage those who support immigrant rights to stay informed and voice opinions to local, state and federal leaders.
Our newsletter, The Northwest Immigrant Advocate, is a good way to stay abreast of NWIRP's efforts related to serving immigrants and refugees in the Pacific Northwest. Sign up here.
Additionally, if you're interested in getting more involved, the American Immigration Law Association (AILA) provides detailed information on how to be an advocate for immigrant rights. NWIRP partners closely with AILA, a national association of over 10,000 attorneys and law professors who practice and teach immigration law. AILA is a nonpartisan, not-for-profit organization that provides its members with continuing legal education, information, professional services, and expertise.
