Inland Coalition For Immigrant Justice

What Inland Coalition For Immigrant Justice does

The Inland Coalition for Immigrant Justice (IC4IJ), founded in 2008 and headquartered at 2441 N Sierra Way in San Bernardino, California, is a 501(c)(4)-style nonprofit coalition coordinating more than 40 base, community, religious, legal services, and workers' rights organizations across Riverside and San Bernardino Counties. Its operations revolve around five interlocking functions: (1) a DOJ-recognized Legal Department staffed by three accredited immigration representatives delivering free representation in DACA, naturalization, asylum, U/T visas, VAWA, and deportation defense; (2) the Emergency Response Network hotline (909-361-4588) for immigrant community members, which absorbed 719+ calls from Adelanto ICE detainees between May and the data cutoff; (3) the Resilient Voices two-month re-entry program co-hosted with ACLU SoCal; (4) advocacy campaigns including the Shut Down Adelanto Coalition (since 2019), San Bernardino Workers Center, street vendor formalization, and CalEITC outreach; and (5) the Inland Empire Legal Roundtable, a convening network of 65+ immigration practitioners that coordinates legal clinics across the region.

IC4IJ's core technology stack is intentionally minimal and operational rather than productized: it consists of a bilingual WordPress website (ic4ij.org), ActBlue donation portals, EveryAction membership and email tools, Google Drive resource repositories, a telephone hotline, and standard virtual-meeting platforms for Know Your Rights workshops and legal clinics. There is no proprietary platform, mobile application, or API surface; product launches in the source data refer to new service lines (Resilient Voices, commissary fund, street vendor ordinance campaign) rather than software releases. During the COVID-19 emergency, IC4IJ served as a pass-through administrator distributing more than $2.4 million in relief to the Inland Empire immigrant community through its Community Fund.

The coalition's business model is donation-dependent and free-to-recipient: there is no pricing for legal services, workshops, hotline support, or emergency response, and revenue derives from individual contributions via ActBlue, targeted funds (Resilient Voices, commissary), the Annual Gala, foundation grants, and partner-organization support. Key constituencies served are low-income, indigent, and detained immigrants and refugees in the Inland Empire, including the Coachella Valley and High Desert; ICE detainees at the Adelanto Processing Center; immigrant youth; and day laborers and street vendors. Notable co-counsel relationships include ACLU SoCal, CHIRLA, UC Irvine Immigrant Rights Clinic, and Munger, Tolles & Olson in the Kidd v. Noem class action, alongside leadership of a 65+ practitioner legal network that constitutes the coalition's primary structural moat.
