*This program is hosted by our partner, Grantmakers Concerned with Immigrants and Refugees (GCIR), who has extended an invitation to PNY members.*
With the promise of tougher enforcement under a new administration, organizations across the state of Florida are mobilizing and organizing to defend immigrant and other marginalized communities. Florida has been among the battleground states in the fight for immigrant rights with recent passage of SB 1718 and other harmful policies aimed to curb migration into Florida and stoke fear within communities.
With federal- and state-level threats, groups in Florida are thinking creatively about how to defend, protect, and expand the rights of immigrant and refugee communities, starting at the grassroots, local level.
