National Immigration Law Center

Founded in 1979, the National Immigration Law Center is the leading advocacy organization in the U.S. exclusively dedicated to defending and advancing the rights and opportunities of low-income immigrants and their loved ones. NILC's mission is grounded in the belief that everyone living in the U.S. - regardless of race, gender/gender identity, immigration status, or economic status - should have equal access to justice, resources, and educational and economic opportunities that enable them to achieve their full human potential. NILC is committed to advancing its mission - which intersects race, immigration status, and class - through a racial, economic, and gender justice and equity orientation.
