National Partnership for New Americans (NPNA)

The National Partnership for New Americans (NPNA) is a national multiethnic, multiracial partnership. NPNA believes that America’s success is rooted in Americans’ ongoing commitment to welcoming and integrating newcomers into the fabric of the nation, and to upholding equality and opportunity as fundamental American values. Based in Chicago, NPNA represents the collective power and resources of the country’s 37 largest regional immigrant and refugee rights organisations in 31 states. NPNA’s members provide large-scale services—from DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) application processing to voter registration to health care enrollment—for their communities, and they combine service delivery with sophisticated organising tactics to advance local and state policy. NPNA exists to leverage the collective power and expertise of its member organisations for a national strategy. It holds a unique position in the immigrant rights movement as the foremost institution comprised of and led by immigrant constituencies and has been a key player in shaping local, regional, and national policy and politics impacting immigrant communities.
