The stakes are high - and what we do with the in-between moments matters most.
At The Other 54 Strategies, we help organizations, institutions, coalitions, and governments respond to today’s most urgent migration and security challenges while building toward long-term, systemic solutions.
“Every team’s going to win 54 games, every team’s going to lose 54. It’s what you do with the other 54 that counts.”
What We Bring to the Table
The Other 54 is best known for its work in immigration rapid response: mobilizing coalitions, coordinating services, and guiding leaders through real-time policy shifts and humanitarian crises.
But we don’t stop at the crisis. Our expertise is rooted in two decades of on-the-ground experience responding to the local impacts of migration policies and movements, and connecting those realities to national and international strategy.
We’ve helped shape conversations and drive solutions by:
Producing white papers, research, and OpEds that reframe immigration as a security, economic, and community issue.
Designing toolkits and legal service delivery models to support communities in crisis and foster cross-border collaboration.
Informing decision-makers through testimony before the U.S. Congress, state and local legislatures, and targeted policy briefings.
Serving as a trusted resource for journalists and newsrooms, providing nonpartisan analysis that brings clarity to complex migration and security issues.
Advising on strategies that bridge values with political and practical realities.
From crisis management to systems change, The Other 54 provides clarity, strategy, and pathways to durable solutions.
