Immigrant Advocates Response Collaborative
Immigrant ARC (I-ARC) is a coalition of immigration legal advocates that works on increasing access to justice and access to counsel for all immigrant New Yorkers. We were inspired to collaborate in January of 2017 during the Muslim Travel Ban and committed to shaping and advocating for all immigrant New Yorkers. We are a community of advocates dedicated to seeking justice shoulder to shoulder with our immigrant clients. We are guided by the needs of the immigrant clients with whom we work.
Our community includes over 80 legal service providers in New York State. We come together in solidarity with all New Yorkers who believe in fair and just immigration policies and who share our collective outrage at the injustices confronting immigrant communities. We use our knowledge of immigration law and practice to empower each other and the communities we serve to collectively fight systemic oppression and seek respect and dignity for all. We recognize that access to justice for immigrant communities is inextricably linked to the broader fight for racial justice. We commit to working alongside all others who are fighting to achieve a vision of a more just and equitable world.
