Project Voice
Project Voice is an initiative sponsored by the American
Friends
Service Committee (AFSC). Its purpose is to strengthen the voices
of
immigrant-led organizations in setting the national agenda for
immigration policy and immigrants' rights, in order to foster
a fuller
integration of immigrants and refugees in their new communities.
Project
Voice combines local and national organizing, education, and
outreach
campaigns to achieve a strategic impact on key immigration and
refugee
issues, including legalization, abuse of authority, community
relations,
workers' rights, and other human rights issues.
