Immigration Advocates Network: How to Support Citizenship in Your Community

This webinar aired January 27, 2022

As the number of immigrants coming into the US increases, it can be a challenge for community leaders to help immigrants navigate the path to immigration legal status or citizenship. During this webinar, our partners at the Immigration Advocates Network (IAN) will share the tools and resources they have created to increase access to justice for low-income immigrants. In addition, you will hear from one of our Welcoming Network members, the City of Jersey City, NJ, who will share how they have successfully used the IAN’s Citizenshipworks Project to support local immigrants who are going through the citizenship process and how you can do the same. Whether you are part of a local government, rural community, or nonprofit organization, you will want to hear about how IAN can help you build a program that provides legal and technological resources to promote citizenship in your community.

Speakers:

Rodrigo Camarena, Director, Immigration Advocates Network

Sandra Sandoval, Citizenshipworks Program Manager, Immigration Advocates Network

Michael McLean, Director, Division of Immigrant Affairs, Department of Health and Human Services, City of Jersey City, NJ
