California Immigrant Policy Center (CIPC)

The California Immigrant Policy Center (CIPC) is a constituent-based statewide immigrant rights organization with offices in Los Angeles, Sacramento, and Oakland. It is a leading immigrant rights institution in the state.

CIPC advocates for policies that uphold the humanity of immigrants and refugees while advancing racial, social and economic justice.

Formerly the California Immigrant Welfare Collaborative, CIPC was founded in 1996, as California reeled from the ugly aftermath of Proposition 187 and harsh federal copycats.

We also provide campaign and narrative support, capacity building, technical assistance, training and education on immigrant issues.
