The Issues: Immigrant Rights

Back to All Issues

At CUNTS-PAC, we believe that every individual, regardless of their immigration status, deserves to live with dignity and respect. Unfortunately, many LGBTQIA+ immigrants face significant barriers to safety, stability, and equality, including detention, deportation, and violence. We are committed to advocating for the rights and needs of LGBTQIA+ immigrants, including those who are seeking asylum or refuge.

The Challenges Faced by LGBTQIA+ Immigrants

LGBTQIA+ immigrants face numerous challenges, including:

  • Detention and deportation
  • Violence and persecution in their home countries
  • Lack of access to healthcare and other essential services
  • Higher rates of poverty and economic instability

Our Vision for Immigrant Rights

We envision a world where every LGBTQIA+ immigrant has access to the resources and support they need to live safely and with dignity. To achieve this, we advocate for:

  • Comprehensive immigration reform that includes protections for LGBTQIA+ immigrants
  • An end to detention and deportation of LGBTQIA+ immigrants
  • Increased access to healthcare and other essential services for LGBTQIA+ immigrants
  • Support for LGBTQIA+ immigrants who are seeking asylum or refuge

What We're Fighting For

We're fighting for a world where:

  • LGBTQIA+ immigrants are protected from detention and deportation.
  • LGBTQIA+ immigrants have access to the same rights and opportunities as citizens.
  • LGBTQIA+ immigrants are treated with dignity and respect by the immigration system.
  • LGBTQIA+ immigrants who are seeking asylum or refuge are supported and protected.

Join us in the fight for immigrant rights. Together, we can create a world where every LGBTQIA+ immigrant can live safely and with dignity.
