Today is Citizenship Day, and throughout September, NPNA and Cities & Counties for Citizenship (CC4C) have observed “Citizenship Month” to celebrate new Americans on the cusp of attaining their U.S. citizenship. Now in a time of increased vigilance of those seeking to adjust status through naturalization- it is more important than ever that we work together to ensure that immigrant communities that are eligible for naturalization have access to trusted, quality legal screening and support during their citizenship process.
Join us today, as we call for a national day of action encouraging eligible immigrants to become U.S. citizens. A strong democracy is a reflection of the power of the people who have fought for the rights and possibilities that it guarantees. When we come together and provide safe pathways for welcoming people into our communities, we have the power to shape our shared future together. Today, we stand alongside immigrant communities across the nation leading with a vision of what is possible and commit to do our part to preserve and strengthen our multi-cultural, multi-racial democracy.

US Members of Congress Renew Commitment to Immigrant Inclusion on Constitution and Citizenship Day
|
|
|
September 17th marks the anniversary of the signing of the U.S. Constitution. This historic document laid the foundation for our democracy, established the Bill of Rights, guaranteeing civil liberties and freedoms, and set forth the framework for our government through the separation of powers and a system of checks and balances. This year, Congressional champions for Immigrant Inclusion renew their commitment “to upholding these rights for everybody in the United States.

|
|
Even at this time when these principles are under attack and many feel fearful and uncertain about the future of our country, we must keep fighting for an inclusive, safe, and free nation” Read the full statement here.
