The Amica Center for Immigrant Rights (Amica Center)—formerly The Capital Area Immigrants’ Rights (CAIR) Coalition—is the only non-profit organization in the Washington, D.C. area that exclusively focuses on providing legal assistance to adult and child immigrants detained by the government in the Capital Region and beyond. The organization couples direct representation of immigrants facing deportation with impact litigation and national advocacy. The Advocacy Manager will work on expanding universal representation for adult immigrants from Virginia held in ICE detention centers. Working closely with the Detained Adult Program team, the Advocacy Manager will assess the political and advocacy map of Virginia, develop an advocacy plan, build coalitions, publish data-supported advocacy papers, create and effectuate communication plans, and meet with local and state government officials.
