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 formed in 1996 in response to cuts and reforms to public benefits systems nationally that eliminated federal health and public benefits coverage for countless immigrants, identifying the need to uplift and empower a statewide voice on behalf of immigrants in California to counteract the devastating effects of federal policy.

Over the past 28 years, CIPC has led groundbreaking campaigns that have vastly expanded protections 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, and One California, the largest investment in legal services protection in the country.
