Mission & Purpose
The Falmouth Immigrant Rights Coalition (FIRC) is a grassroots organization dedicated to supporting and empowering immigrants across Falmouth and Upper Cape Cod.
Through collaboration with community partners, we provide accessible education on legal rights, family and business preparedness, and critical legal resources.
FIRC works alongside immigrants and allies to foster informed, safe, and resilient communities by distributing multilingual resources, strengthening local networks, and advocating for dignity, justice, and inclusion for all.
