What is Cities?
Cities for Action (C4A) is a coalition comprising nearly 200 U.S. mayors and county executives dedicated to advocating for pro-immigrant federal policies and pioneering inclusive, innovative programs at the municipal level. The coalition's core mission is to foster stronger, safer cities by shaping the national discourse on immigration, actively welcoming new residents, and engaging diverse stakeholders. C4A's initiatives address critical areas such as the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program and broader immigration reform efforts, aiming to provide resources and frameworks for local governments and communities seeking to enhance their immigration policies and support systems for new populations.
