We dream of a Minnesota where ITIN-holders can participate as equals in the state economy, resulting in healthier, safer, and more stable communities for all who call this place home. The Vida Digna Coalition, composed of COPAL MN, HACER, and LatinoLEAD, aims to promote policies and actions aimed at improving the quality of life for all individuals, regardless of their immigration status. It fervently advocates for inclusion and equitable access to essential services and economic opportunities for everyone.
The campaign will actively advocate for the inclusion of ITIN-holders within both the private and municipal sectors. By demonstrating the universal positive outcomes of expanding access for ITIN-holders at the local level, the campaign seeks to inspire and provoke statewide policy reform to ensure equal access and opportunities for all.
