CIVIC, or Community Initiatives for Visiting Immigrants in Confinement, is a national nonprofit based in San Francisco, California, focused on addressing isolation and abuse within U.S. civil immigration detention. The organization combines structured visitation with nationwide detention monitoring and advocacy to pursue immigration detention reform through broad civic engagement. Its work targets individuals in detention and communities involved in their wellbeing, aiming to improve treatment and oversight through collaborative, diverse coalitions of local residents, religious leaders, university students, and grassroots supporters. CIVIC operates within the civic and social organizations sector, positioning itself as a advocacy and monitoring group rather than a service provider. The entity emphasizes community-based engagement as a core approach to reform, reflecting its founding principle that meaningful change requires wide participation across society.
