Representation, Equity, and Protections (REP) for All Immigrants Campaign

REP4All is a legislative campaign to enhance and expand access to legal services and representation for immigrant Californians, regardless of past contact with the criminal legal system. REP4All is led by the California Immigrant Policy Center (CIPC), Central American Resource Center-Los Angeles (CARECEN-LA), Immigrant Legal Resource Center (ILRC), and Vera Institute of Justice, and supported by a statewide coalition of 50+ legal services, community-based, faith-based and immigrant rights organizations. REP4All is championed by Assemblymember Reggie Jones-Sawyer.

In 2023, CIPC co-established the REP4All campaign and Assemblymember Jones-Sawyer first introduced the bill. In 2024, Assemblymember Jones-Sawyer introduced the bill, AB 2031.

  • Slogan: Nobody should have to stand alone in immigration proceedings or while facing deportation and its devastating consequences.
  • Goal for REP4All: Build collective power to disrupt detention and deportation by increasing access to and funding for legal services & representation.
