Immigration is a human issue at the border and in our community. Cincinnati is home to refugees and asylum seekers from around the world – families forced to flee from violence and lawlessness in their home countries.
The Immigrant and Refugee Law Center provides accessible legal services to immigrant and refugee families in the Greater Cincinnati community.
Equal and trusted access to justice and legal services for immigrants and refugees in the Greater Cincinnati area and a more welcoming, safer, and more stable community for families.
IJPC fully believes that immigrants are to be welcomed to the United States and that U.S. law needs to provide a path for our undocumented neighbors to gain legal status. Immigrant individuals and families must be given opportunities for integration into U.S. society and protected from exploitation. Furthermore, IJPC realizes that people do not make the decision to leave their homeland lightly. Nations need to work together to create a just international economic structure in which every person’s human rights are respected and provides dignified work within each country. We believe that national security is not enhanced by threats of mass deportation, detention of undocumented individuals and families, or by vast increases in border surveillance.
The Immigrant Dignity Coalition’s purpose is to inform, connect, and mobilize the Southwest Ohio / Northern Kentucky community to defend ...
From the workplace, to the classroom, to our neighborhoods, immigrant families are part of our communities in Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky. IJPC educates and advocates for immigrants’ rights and creates opportunities for the community to hear their unique voices as we work for comprehensive immigration reform.
The goal of IJPC’s immigration program is to engage immigrants, allies, and the general public on the realities of our broken immigration system so that they can come together and advocate for comprehensive immigration reform.
