Duration

24 months

Description

Although it has been decades since the last major immigration policy reforms, the issue has historically enjoyed bipartisan support. However, with increasing global migration and anti-immigrant rhetoric, the topic has become increasingly polarized, blocking immigration reform policies from advancing. Founded in 2008 with Corporation support, America’s Voice Education Fund (AVEF) is a communications hub working to build public and political support for pro-immigrant policies in the United States. It works closely with national, state, and local advocacy organizations to develop unified messaging that advances pro-immigrant narratives across media platforms. These messages are disseminated through rapid response communications, traditional media events, and social media, with the aim of educating journalists, policymakers, and the public about the benefits of pro-immigrant policies. With Corporation support, AVEF will continue to develop and disseminate positive, pro-immigrant narratives.

Description

By a two-to-one margin, Americans today believe that immigrants strengthen rather than burden the country. Yet, thousands of asylum-seeking families have been separated at the U.S.-Mexico border, refugee admittances are at their lowest rate in American history, and the federal government has been raising new obstacles to legal immigration without addressing the 10.5 million immigrants living in the country without legal status. America’s Voice Education Fund (AVEF) works with local, state, and national advocacy organizations to disseminate accurate information and unified messaging about immigrants and immigration policy to national, state, and local media. With Corporation support, AVEF will provide immigration advocates with strategic communications and rapid response strategies to educate the public about the harms of partisan rhetoric around immigrants and create public will for pro-immigrant policy changes.

Description

By a two to one margin, Americans today believe that immigrants strengthen rather than burden the country. Yet, hardline lawmakers have reduced refugee admittances to the lowest rate in American history, taken measures to curtail legal immigration, and ramped up deportations of undocumented immigrants who were previously deemed a low priority. America’s Voice Education Fund (AVEF) shapes the public communications of the national coalition of immigrant-serving organizations working to advance immigration reform. AVEF works with local, state, and national advocacy organizations to develop unified messaging to inform the immigration debate, in addition to disseminating accurate information about immigrants and immigration policy in the media. With renewed Corporation support, AVEF will continue to create powerful narrative themes and persuasive messages for proponents of immigrants and immigration reform.
