The “Immigration Summit,” launched in 2020, is a groundbreaking collaboration between the California Community Foundation, USC Equity Research Institute, and the Council on Immigrant Inclusion. This innovative platform unites diverse stakeholders from business, labor, community organizations, local government, and philanthropy, creating a unique space for cross-sector dialogue and strategic action.
Emerging from community leaders’ passionate calls for a comprehensive platform, the Summit aims to highlight the pivotal role of immigrants in Los Angeles, promote equitable access to opportunities, and foster collaborative efforts for transformative investments. By bringing together key decision-makers, the event seeks to amplify immigrant voices and drive systemic change that recognizes their invaluable contributions to the region’s economic and cultural landscape.
As the first event of its kind in Los Angeles, the Summit annually gathers over 400 influential leaders to enhance immigration advocacy and integration efforts. A key highlight is the release of the State of Immigrants in Los Angeles County (SOILA) report by the USC Equity Research Institute, which provides critical data to refocus attention on advancing a pro-immigrant agenda and creating meaningful pathways for immigrant success.
