Mission

Partnership for Immigrant Leadership and Action (PILA) works to increase immigrant civic and political activism to strengthen democracy and advance social justice.  Our work is inspired by the immense contributions that immigrants make to the economic, cultural and spiritual fabric of our communities. We envision a place where all people, regardless of citizenship status, have access to basic civil and human rights, and are empowered to take action on issues that impact all of our communities.

What We Do

PILA provides training and technical assistance to Bay Area organizations and communities to support grassroots leadership development and movement-building electoral organizing. We facilitate ongoing peer learning, networking, and alliance building among diverse organizations and communities to strengthen a multi-ethnic movement for social change. We also share lessons, tools, and curricula with organizations nation-wide to strengthen their immigrant empowerment efforts and participate in collaborations  that support immigrant involvement in local, state, and national policy formation.

 
“No other organization offers a similar set of programs, tools and resources, along with long-term sustained relationships with local immigrant organizations and communities.” - Lina Avidan, Zellerbach Family Foundation
