Organizational Summary

The mission of the California Immigrant Policy Center (CIPC) is to uphold the humanity of immigrant communities in California by transforming systems to achieve racial, social, and economic justice. CIPC is a non-partisan, non-profit statewide organization engaging in advocacy, organizing, and strategic communications to uplift immigrant communities. CIPC was founded in response to the 1996 passage of federal immigrant and welfare laws that profoundly affected immigrants. Today, CIPC advances inclusive policies that build a prosperous future for all Californians, using policy analysis, advocacy and capacity building. 


Over the past 28 years, CIPC has led groundbreaking campaigns that have greatly expanded protections, as well as access to publicly-funded services and programs, for California’s low-income immigrant populations, including but not limited to the Safe and Responsible Driver Act, the TRUST and TRUTH Acts, CA Values Act, E-Verify Bill, the Health for All campaign, California Earned Income Tax Credit (CalEITC), and One California, the largest investment in legal services protection in the country.


Position Summary

CIPC’s Integrated Voter Engagement (IVE) work will be complementary to ongoing state

IVE with our partners in the immigrant rights field. The Statewide Organizer will work
with partners to educate immigrant voters about election issues through candidate
forums and Town Halls, support new and unlikely voters to cast their ballots, and ensure
that misinformation and intimidation do not inhibit people from voting. The Statewide
Organizer will also train and provide technical support to subgranted organizations
during the course of their electoral campaigns on canvassing, phone banking strategies
and get-out-the-vote strategies.
