The decision reflects a broader pullback from political advocacy by one of Silicon Valley’s most influential figures.
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has cut off ties with a pro-immigration advocacy group he helped establish, according to people familiar with the matter, marking a notable shift away from public policy activism.
Meta Platforms CEO Mark Zuckerberg has withdrawn his involvement and support from a pro-immigration advocacy organization he founded years ago, according to people familiar with the decision. The move represents a significant change in Zuckerberg’s approach to public political engagement.
The group, which previously advocated for immigration reform and expanded pathways for undocumented immigrants, was part of Zuckerberg’s earlier efforts to influence U.S. policy debates. At the time, the initiative aligned with broader tech-industry positions on immigration and workforce mobility.
Sources said the decision reflects Zuckerberg’s broader retreat from overt political advocacy, particularly as Meta continues to face regulatory scrutiny in the United States and abroad. Company leadership has increasingly emphasized neutrality on contentious political issues.
Zuckerberg has, in recent years, scaled back direct involvement in policy campaigns, focusing instead on Meta’s business operations, artificial intelligence development, and platform governance. Meta has also restructured its approach to political content and civic engagement.
Political analysts note that the shift mirrors a wider trend among corporate leaders who once played prominent roles in advocacy but now seek to limit exposure amid polarized political environments and regulatory pressures.
Neither Zuckerberg nor Meta publicly commented on the specific reasons for ending support of the group. The organization itself has not announced changes to its operations or leadership.
