About

In December 2016, several organizations and individuals from across South Carolina came together with the aim of preserving the rights of immigrant and refugee families. We seek to provide individuals, advocates, and organizations with resources, education and other tools to support this goal.

Coalition Tasks and Accomplishments
Awareness About the Potential for Increased Bullying of Immigrant Children
Due to increased reports of bullying of immigrant and minority children, SC United with Immigrants is connecting with almost 1400 public school principals and administrators all over South Carolina and providing them informational tools and anti-bullying resources.
Supporting SC Faith Leaders
SC United with Immigrants partners with faith-based organizations that provide direct services, outreach, and advocacy to help them network, build strength, and stay up-to-date on policies they are interested in, such as DACA.
Outreach to Health, Education, and Social Service Providers:
SC United With Immigrants works to inform health, education, and social service providers about immigrant concerns and rights, and ways they can help the communities they serve feel safe and supported.
Know Your Rights Workshops
SC United With Immigrants members provide “Know Your Rights” workshops to groups of community residents that are interested in how to prevent and prepare for any changes in laws or policies that occur. These workshops are facilitated by community leaders, lawyers, and community-based organizations.
Sharing Information with South Carolina
SC United with Immigrants is committed to sharing important and up-to-date resources and initiatives as they emerge to keep South Carolinians informed of issues that impact our immigrant communities. We do this through our website, the media, speaking engagements, one-on-one interactions, and through organizations that work within immigrant communities.
Partnership with Coalitions of Family-Serving Organizations
SC United With Immigrants is committed to partnering with other organizations and coalitions that also seek to support the diverse families and individuals of South Carolina. We welcome the opportunity to collaborate on projects and initiatives that have similar missions.
