Protect Immigrant Children in CA: Tell State Leaders to Fully Fund CHIRP Now
Unaccompanied immigrant children in California are still being asked to face immigration court alone—often in a language they don’t speak, after surviving trauma and long journeys. The Children’s Holistic Immigration Representation Program (CHIRP) pairs these kids with attorneys and social‑service providers who help them enroll in school, access health care and food, and navigate complex legal systems with dignity and safety.
CHIRP’s current funding is temporary and at risk. Advocates are calling on state leaders to include stable, multi‑year funding (around $33 million) for CHIRP in the upcoming California budget so children are not left without critical support.
You can help in under 5 minutes:
Call your California Assemblymember and State Senator and ask them to fully fund CHIRP and make it a budget priority.
Share this action with friends, family, and community groups.
Follow and boost organizations like Acacia Center for Justice and local immigrant‑rights groups who are leading this fight.
When we fund CHIRP, we’re choosing to protect children, keep families together, and live up to California’s values of fairness and dignity for all.
