The Project
I am concentrating on promoting citizenship to refugees and other eligible immigrants. I will be conducting naturalization clinics throughout Michigan as well as engaging in direct individual representation for refugees experiencing significant delays in their applications for green cards and citizenship. I will also be working on immigration integration efforts including promoting access to government and social services and working on public awareness regarding the contributions of immigrants to the local community and economy.
