Immigrants Rising (formerly Educators for Fair Consideration) aims to empower undocumented young people in their pursuit of college, career and citizenship. Immigrants Rising believes that talented undocumented young people are vital to the long-term growth and prosperity of the United States, and that empowering them to achieve their academic and career goals and gain citizenship is essential to maximizing their contributions. Immigrants Rising envisions:

• A thriving educational system, which gives aspiring undocumented young people the information, encouragement and financial resources they need to excel in higher education.

• A fair employment system that allows undocumented young people access to work authorization and the ability to pursue careers that benefit from their skills, training, and potential.

• A just and humane immigration system that recognizes the dignity, struggle, and contributions of undocumented young people and their families by providing them with a viable path to citizenship.

Immigrants Rising provides many services, including, but not limited to the following:

• Immigration Legal Intake Service

• California In-State Tuition Tool

• Mental Health Connector

• Wellness Gatherings

Katharine Gin is the Executive Director of Immigrants Rising.
