Direct peers

• Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights (ICIRR): Statewide immigrant advocacy coalition that ISD partners with directly on ICE Out of Illinois protests. Both pursue policy advocacy, Know Your Rights education, and rapid response for the Illinois immigrant community, with ICIRR operating at the state level and ISD at the suburban DuPage County level.
• Casa de Maryland: Mid-Atlantic Latino immigrant services and advocacy organization providing Know Your Rights education, workers' rights support, legal clinics, and community organizing. Comparable in service portfolio (workers' rights, education, cultural programming) and member-driven organizing model.
• Centro Romero: Chicago-based nonprofit serving immigrant and refugee communities through legal services, education, and community organizing. Comparable holistic service model with comparable cohort of Latino/immigrant clients in the broader Chicago metropolitan area.
• Centro de los Derechos del Migrante: Nonprofit focused on migrant workers' rights with worker hotline, legal referrals, and Know Your Rights education. Strongly comparable to ISD's Centro de Trabajadores Casa DuPage work, including similar OSHA training and DALE-style retaliation protection advocacy.

Broad incumbents

• Hispanic Federation: National Latino service and advocacy organization providing grantmaking, capacity-building, and direct services to a network of Latino-focused nonprofits. Comparable to ISD's grant-eligible position and offers a model for scaling through institutional funding.
• National Immigration Law Center: National advocacy organization dedicated to defending and advancing the rights of immigrants. Provides policy analysis, litigation, and training that informs Know Your Rights education and DALE program delivery at organizations like ISD.
• National Day Laborer Organizing Network (NDLON): National network of day laborer organizations that ISD belongs to (via NDLON Assemblies). Operates the People's Patrol community defense model at scale across multiple states, providing the strategic framework and coalition infrastructure that ISD's smaller Peoples Patrol adapts locally.
• UnidosUS: National Latino civil rights and advocacy organization with affiliate network model. Provides policy advocacy, education programming, and community development resources that mirror ISD's integrated service model, operating at significantly larger scale.
• Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund (MALDEF): National Latino civil rights legal organization providing litigation, advocacy, and education on immigration, education, and voting rights. Operates as a referral and legal-strategy resource for community-based organizations like ISD that lack in-house legal capacity.

Regional players
