Advocacy group supports guaranteed income for undocumented immigrants

Community Change Action, which advocates for guaranteed income programs in Illinois, is pushing for “economic protections” for illegal immigrants as part of its vision for an “immigrant-inclusive democracy.” The organization aims to establish a permanent statewide guaranteed income program, building on its success in Cook County, where it helped launch the first permanent cash assistance initiative in the U.S. Community Change Action also seeks to influence federal policy and has called for cutting funding to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement amid calls for accountability regarding their actions.
