Center

2 Alabama Coalition for 

Immigrant Justice (ACIJ) 

The Alabama Coalition for Immigrant Justice is a 

grassroots, statewide network of individuals and 

organizations that works to advance and defend the

3 American Federation of 

Teachers 

The American Federation of Teachers (AFT), an 

affiliate of the AFL-CIO, was founded in 1916 and 

today represents approximately 1.6 million members 

who are employed across the nation in K-12 and higher 

education, public employment and healthcare. The 

AFT has a longstanding history of supporting and 

advocating for the civil rights of our members and the 

communities they serve. The majority of AFT members 

work in the public sector and provide necessary 

services, such as healthcare and education, to the 

public. In their work, AFT members interact everyday 

with individuals, many of whom fear that they will 

have to disclose their immigration status when they 

seek the service of an AFT member. The AFT is 

greatly concerned about the implications that Executive 

Order 13768 will have on public employees in their 

roles as servants to their communities. For these 

reasons, AFT is uniquely situated to comment on the 

harmful impact of Executive Order 13768 on local 

governments’ ability to effectively and efficiently serve 

their residents.

4 Americans for Immigrant 

Justice 

Amicus Americans for Immigrant Justice (AI Justice), 

formerly Florida Immigrant Advocacy Center, is a nonprofit law firm dedicated to promoting and protecting 

the basic rights of immigrants. Since our founding in 

1996, AI Justice has served over 90,000 immigrants 

from all over the world. Our clients are unaccompanied 

immigrant children; survivors of domestic violence, 

sexual assault, and human trafficking and their 

children; immigrants who are detained and facing 

removal proceedings; as well as immigrants seeking 

assistance with work permits, legal permanent 

residence, asylum and citizenship. A substantial portion 

of our clients include individuals who have been 

irreparably traumatized and victimized by abuse and 

violence and are seeking refuge. Part of our mission is 

to ensure that immigrants are treated justly, and to help 

bring about a society in which the contributions of 

immigrants are valued and encouraged. In Florida and 

on a national level, we champion the rights of 

immigrants; serve as a watchdog on immigration 

detention practices and policies; and speak for 

immigrant groups who have particular and compelling 

claims to justice. 

5 Asian American Legal Defense 

and Education Fund 

The Asian American Legal Defense and Education 

Fund (AALDEF), founded in 1974, is a national 

organization that protects and promotes the civil rights 

of Asian Americans. By combining litigation, 

advocacy, education, and organizing, AALDEF works 

with Asian American communities across the country 

to secure human rights for all. The fears of deportation 

in the Asian American community are palpable, in light 

of their long history of discrimination: Muslim 

immigrant families targeted because of their religion, 

Japanese American families who were forcibly 

relocated and imprisoned in camps during World War 

II, and Chinese American families who were subject to 

the Chinese Exclusion Act. Giving immigration 

powers and responsibilities to local and state police 

forces will clearly deter Asian Americans from relying 

on those agencies.

migrant workers being shut out of the justice system 

because they returned home to their families. Forcing 

workers to choose between enforcing their rights and 

going home is unjust. Justice in Motion protects 

migrant rights by ensuring justice across borders

wellbeing and sense of inclusion of all community 

members. 

24 New Orleans Workers' Center 

for Racial Justice 

The New Orleans Workers’ Center for Racial Justice 

(Workers’ Center) was founded shortly after Hurricane 

Katrina. Against the backdrop of a political economy 

that pitted communities of color against each other, a 

group of Black and immigrant workers came together 

from public housing developments, FEMA trailer

Louisiana to build a new freedom movement: multiracial; committed to racial, gender, and immigrant 

justice; and dedicated to telling a new story about 

possibility in the Southern region as a whole.

30 We Belong Together We Belong Together is a campaign anchored by the 

National Domestic Workers Alliance to mobilize 

women in support of immigration policies that keep 

families together and empower women. Immigration 

reform is rarely thought of as a women’s issue, but in 

fact it is central to the fight for women’s equality. 

Millions of immigrant women who are part of the 

fabric of our communities, workplaces, and schools are 

blocked from achieving their full potential because of a 

broken immigration system. They perform essential 

jobs, like taking care of our children and our aging 

parents, and are central to family and community wellbeing.

justice for those denied human rights with a focus on 

agricultural and other low-wage workers, through legal 

representation, community empowerment and 

advocacy for institutional change. 

32 Workers Defense Project WDP is a worker center and part of a national 

movement of organizations that seek to provide lowwage workers with the resources they need to improve 

their working and living conditions. The project 

provides a source of power and hope for low-wage 

workers who have little access to these important 

resources. WDP is one of the few organizations in 

Texas working to address workplace abuse faced by

low-wage workers. The organization is one of the most 

established worker centers in the South and a leader in 

fighting for fair conditions for working people. 

33 Worksafe Worksafe advocates for protective worker health and 

safety laws and effective remedies for injured workers 

through the legislature and courts. Worksafe is also a 

Legal Support Center funded by the State Bar Legal 

Services Trust Fund Program to provide advocacy, 

technical and legal assistance, and training to the legal 

services projects throughout California that directly 

serve California's most vulnerable low-wage workers. 

Millions of low-wage and immigrant workers often toil 

long hours in harsh and hazardous work environments 

in California. These same workers often face 

employment and labor violations. Many of these 

workers are vulnerable immigrant workers who are the 

target of employer abuse and retaliation. In our work, 

we have encountered employers who will utilize local 

law enforcement as a tactic to engage in illegal 

retaliation based actions against workers that are 

voicing their concerns, injuries, illnesses, or exercising 

their rights.
