PARTNERSHIP FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF NEW AMERICANS

The Partnership for the Advancement of New Americans (PANA) is a research, public policy, and community organizing hub dedicated to advancing the full economic, social, & civic inclusion of refugees.

Civic Engagement

In 2020, we had direct conversations with over 47,000 African, Arab, Middle Eastern, Muslim, and South Asian community members regarding the Census and the General Elections. We hired and trained 51 youth that engaged in our phone bank campaigns throughout the year.

Proactive Narratives

Newcomer.life hosts short video stories on newcomer contributions and welcoming exchanges to counter anti-refugee rhetoric.

Newcomer.life offers easy ways to #ShowUp4Refugees by providing a conversation guide and toolkit, calls to action, and volunteer opportunities to get more involved.

Policy + Campaigns

PANA advocates for policies that advance the rights and furthers protections for refugee communities. Through our Right To A Roof campaign, we have worked with City Council to pass the Source of Income Anti-Discrimination ordinance as well as Inclusionary Housing and are currently seeking protections for tenants from wrongful evictions and displacement.
