The Sacramento Immigration Coalition is fighting against inhumane treatment of immigrants in Sacramento, Northern California and nationwide. SIC is composed of representatives from a number of civil- and immigrants’-rights groups primarily in the Northern California region.
Our Work
- We strive to be guided by the experiences and leadership of immigrants themselves, including those who are or have been on the inside of detention centers.
- We support immigrant communities, including:
- Advocating for and with immigrants and their families.
- Compiling and sharing critical resources to connect immigrants and families with services.
Detention:
- We seek to end the isolation and abuse of people in immigration detention through visitation programs.
- We monitor and evaluate places of immigration detention.
- We gather and keep updated information on detention practices.
- We raise awareness on the detrimental consequences of detention.
- Identify and support initiatives to ameliorate conditions of detention, in coordination with relevant stakeholders.
- We promote and advocate for alternative accompaniment programs to build effective and humane pathways away from our punitive immigration detention system.
