Each year, the California Immigrant Policy Center identifies important immigrant-related policy issues being considered by our state's leaders and lawmakers. CIPC plays a leadership role in Sacramento working alongside lawmakers, advocates, policy makers, and community members to support policies that benefit all Californians. As home to the largest immigrant population in the country, it is critical for California to implement policies that support immigrant families and integrate immigrants into our communities.
