THE SALT LAKE COUNTY
IMMIGRANT PEOPLES AGENDA CAMPAIGN
What is it?
The Salt Lake County Immigrant People’s Agenda (SLCIPA) is a community-led, multi-year power-building campaign committed to ensuring that immigrants and working-class community members can shape the policies, systems, and conditions that impact their daily lives. Supported by Comunidades Unidas, SLCIPA brings together immigrant and working-class community members across the county to develop leadership, build collective power, and take strategic action for meaningful change.
SLCIPA emerged after a year of house meetings and listening sessions where hundreds of working-class individuals identified the barriers they face—from housing and education challenges to workplace exploitation and harmful immigration enforcement practices. These conversations led to a shared commitment: to build a strong base of leaders capable of moving decision-makers, shifting public narratives, and exercising real social and political power in Utah.
SLCIPA is currently organizing around key issues identified directly by immigrant community members:
• Defending the rights and dignity of local day laborers and working-class immigrants
Protecting jornaleros from exploitation, unsafe conditions, and unconstitutional enforcement, while building their leadership and collective power.
• Ending harmful collaborations that target immigrant and undocumented community members
Challenging local–federal practices that lead to detention, deportation, and discriminatory policing.
• Implementing a countywide Know Your Rights campaign
- Ensuring that community members understand their rights and can safely interact with law enforcement and ICE.
