Coalition for Comprehensive Immigration Reform
The Coalition for Comprehensive Immigration Reform (CCIR), also known as CCIR/NAOC or New American Opportunity Campaign (NAOC), is a non-profit immigrant rights advocacy organization based in
Civil Rights Movement
, and acts as an umbrella organization for several national and local immigrant rights organizations for advocacy and coalition building.
The New American Opportunity Campaign was launched by CCIR in 2004. Soon, the campaign became the core project of the coalition, and NAOC became a better-known name than CCIR. CCIR consolidated its identity into the single "Coalition for Comprehensive Immigration Reform" name in 2007.
