Immigrant communities are facing urgent threats from the Trump administration. As we fight off immediate attacks, the National Immigration Law Center is deploying new strategies to reshape narratives and broaden our movement against authoritarianism. Here are some highlights of what we’ve been up to: We tested and honed messages to better understand what cuts through the noise, producing valuable learnings about the mindsets of low-income communities, who are often targets of anti-immigrant, misinformation.
