The mission of Centreville Immigration Forum (CIF) is to implement sustainable programs that provide immigrants in need with the means to improve their lives and become more integrated into the community, improve communication and cooperation among all groups serving immigrants, and build community recognition of our strength in diversity. All our programs include members in leadership and decision-making, build community power, and support the self-sufficiency of immigrants with very low income. We undertake the work of organizing, developing strong partnerships, and advocating to create systemic change – for immigrant rights, wage justice, economic justice, and racial equity – at the same time that we identify and respond to immediate needs. Our work includes:
*operating the Centreville Labor Resource Center, to provide a safe location for workers and employers to connect and establish fair terms for jobs;
*offering ESOL classes, skills trainings, and workshops to build competencies;
*connecting low-income immigrants with outside resources that will help them thrive, including medical, legal, and academic support, emergency financial assistance, and food;
*helping members recover unpaid wages, educating the community about wage theft, and advocating for laws to promote wage justice;
*organizing low-income immigrants, especially from the Latinx and Mayan communities, to advocate to the governments of Virginia and Fairfax County on issues of economic justice and racial equity;
*organizing women immigrants, especially from the Latinx and Mayan communities, through our Women’s Empowerment Project, to identify and address unmet, holistic needs of women and families;
*hosting an advanced training for interpretation in Ixil, including in virtual settings;
*bringing people together to share resources, exchange information, and learn from each other to develop leadership, promote understanding, and build community.
