Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg has unveiled a new political action group of top technology leaders to press for reforms in areas including immigration and education.
"To lead the world in this new economy, we need the most talented and hardest-working people," Mr Zuckerberg said in an opinion piece published in the Washington Post.
"We need to train and attract the best. We need those middle-school students to be tomorrow's leaders."
The group called FWD.us was created amid an intense debate in Congress on immigration, with lawmakers considering a "path to citizenship" for some 11 million undocumented immigrants, as well as measures to boost the number of immigrants with high-tech skills.
The new group naturally has its own Facebook page Mr Zuckerberg said he supports a measure which accomplishes both those goals.
"Comprehensive immigration reform that begins with effective border security, allows a path to citizenship and lets us attract the most talented and hardest-working people, no matter where they were born," he wrote.
The new group's backers include other big names from the tech sector.
Among them are LinkedIn founder Reid Hoffman, Dropbox chief Drew Houston and venture capitalists John Doerr and Jim Breyer.
Mr Zuckerberg said the tech sector understands the needs of an economic adapting to new information technology.
"As leaders of an industry that has benefited from this economic shift, we believe that we have a responsibility to work together to ensure that all members of our society gain from the rewards of the modern knowledge economy," he wrote.
The president of the not-for-profit organisation will be Mr Zuckerberg's longtime friend Joe Green.
FWD.us will have offices in Silicon Valley and Washington.
