IMMIGRANTS & COMMUNITIES
BUILDING VIBRANT, INCLUSIVE, AND ENGAGED COMMUNITIES
Immigrant Nebraskans are an important part of our state’s families and communities, our history and future.
Our Immigrants & Communities Program works to build a just, vibrant, and inclusive Nebraska where everyone can thrive and co-create community.
Together with local partners in communities across the state, we:
- Build long-term leadership, civic participation, and community power together with grassroots organizations led by immigrant Nebraskans and leaders of color.
- Support local efforts to build communities of welcoming and belonging and a statewide connected network of inclusion leaders.
- Work with diverse statewide leaders to develop positive local, state, and federal immigration policies that strengthen communities and keep families together.
- Educate Nebraskans to know and defend their rights at the workplace and in the community.
