The '''National Alliance of Latin American and Caribbean Communities''' ('''NALACC''') is a network of approximately 75 community-based organizations led by [[Latin American]] and [[Caribbean]] immigrants. NALACC member organizations are working to improve quality of life in their communities, both in the United States and in countries of origin. NALACC seeks to build transnational leadership capacity and increase immigrant civic participation, so that immigrants can advocate effectively for public policies that address the root causes of migration, as well as addressing the challenges faced by immigrants in the United States. To date, this latter work has focused on efforts to reform US immigration policies to make them more humane and effective.
