From the Immigrant Legal Resource Center:
The Immigrant Legal Resource Center (ILRC) is seeking a full-time policy attorney to represent the ILRC in Washington D.C. on immigration policy issues and to advocate for policies and laws that advance the rights of immigrants.
The ILRC is a national nonprofit legal support center located in San Francisco, California. Founded in 1979, we specialize in immigration law, policy, and immigrants’ rights. The ILRC is a team-based organization that makes most of its decisions in a collaborative fashion that allows for significant staff input. The organization’s work concentrates on three main program areas: (1) building the capacity of attorneys, paralegals, organizers, service providers, immigrants, and others by providing legal technical assistance, trainings, and publications; (2) assisting immigrants with civic engagement projects to help expand immigrants’ rights and political power; and (3) conducting policy and advocacy work related to immigration law and immigrants’ rights.
This position’s primary focus involves lobbying members of Congress and the Administration for changes to, and in the implementation of, immigration laws and policies, working with other national advocacy groups and community-based organizations, and providing legislative analysis and technical assistance.
