Stand with Immigrant & Working Families in 2026 |

Hope. Dignity. Protection. Your Support Makes It Possible.

Help us protect immigrant and working-class families across Virginia.
2025 has been one of the hardest years our communities have faced — from aggressive enforcement, wage theft, and detentions to rising xenophobia and family separation. Through it all, CIF Virginia has remained a lifeline: connecting workers to jobs, recovering stolen wages, offering leadership training, providing daily support at the Labor Center, and defending community members in their most vulnerable moments.

Your gift today helps us:

Provide job support and daily programming for hundreds of workers
Train immigrant leaders with ESOL, CPR, and workforce skills
Recover unpaid wages and fight back against exploitation
Stop harmful enforcement practices and protect local families
Build communications power to shift the narrative and uplift real stories
Organize statewide to defend immigrant and working-class communities in 2026

We’re facing a $40,000 end-of-year goal to ensure our staff, programs, and community defense work continue strong into the new year.

When you give, you fuel safety, dignity, and belonging for families across our Commonwealth.
Thank you for standing with us when it matters most.

Programs

Economic Justice

Centreville Labor Resource Center (CLRC) is CIF’s largest program that provides a safe place for workers and employers to meet to agree on terms for work. It’s an alternative to street-hiring and is open Monday – Saturday.
Wage Theft Prevention & Recovery seeks to empower members to better protect themselves on the job. We teach labor rights, how to make an agreement, track work, and take steps to recover unpaid wages.
Skills Training focuses on training members to make them more employable. Informal English classes are held daily during labor center hours, and formally at night. Trade, financial and technical literacy classes facilitate self-sufficiency.

Leadership Building

Worker Assemblies or “asambleas” are regular public forums where general membership can give voice to concerns, propose changes, and vote on updated programing.
Leadership Pipeline informs the programming that seeks to empower members by amplifying their voice and commitment to our work. It provides experiential learning by investing in personal growth and influence.
Directiva is a committee of the Board of Directors that is appointed by the workers in their general member meetings (asemblea). It is tasked with representing the membership and aligning work with goals.
Board of Directors is composed of community members and immigrants within the wider community. Its leadership is rooted in organizing and providing its members with training and support, while prioritizing language justice and equity.
