BUILDING VIBRANT, INCLUSIVE, AND ENGAGED COMMUNITIES

Immigrant Nebraskans have been contributing and building lives in local communities for generations. At Nebraska Appleseed, we believe that our state has everything to gain from welcoming these new residents with open hearts and minds.

A welcoming environment not only brings out everyone’s strengths, but communities also benefit from everyone’s contributions and perspectives. With this in mind, we are working to improve our immigration laws and reframe the conversation on immigration in Nebraska to reflect immigrant contributions to our communities.

Real progress depends on each and every one of us working together. To do our part, we: 

• Work with diverse statewide leaders to build local leadership and civic participation that creates positive local, state, and federal immigration policies. 
• Support local efforts to build welcoming and inclusive communities.
• Educate Nebraskans to know and defend their rights at the workplace and in the community.
