Navegar el sistema de salud puede ser abrumador, pero usted tiene el poder de defender sus propios intereses o los de un ser querido.

Recuerde hacer preguntas, expresar sus necesidades y llevar una lista de sus medicamentos a sus citas médicas. Si necesita un intérprete, solicítelo con anticipación. Durante sus consultas, comuníquese claramente con su médico y no dude en pedir aclaraciones cuando algo no esté claro.

Su voz importa: úsela para asegurarse de recibir la mejor atención posible.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Navigating healthcare can be overwhelming, but you have the power to advocate for yourself or a loved one.

Remember to ask questions, express your needs, and bring a list of medications to your appointments. If you need an interpreter, request one ahead of time. During visits, communicate clearly with your doctor and don't hesitate to seek clarification.

Your voice matters—use it to ensure the best care possible.

CONGRATULATIONS to one of our staff members who is now a partially accredited representative!

The Recognition and Accreditation program is a federal initiative that expands immigrants’ access to qualified and trusted immigration legal advisors.

It allows qualified people who are not attorneys, but receive specialized training and undergo significant testing, to become authorized to deliver immigration legal services under federal oversight and with the support of recognized organizations.

Accredited Representatives who have “partial accreditation” can represent clients before the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) division of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

Keep up the phenomenal work!

MICA MOVIE NIGHT AT Arkadin Cinema & Bar!

Come join us for a free screening of La Haine, limited capacity of 50 participants, so sign up before seats fill up!

Mathieu Kassovitz took the film world by storm with La Haine, a gritty, unsettling, and visually explosive look at the racial and cultural volatility in modern-day France, specifically the low-income banlieue districts on Paris’s outskirts. Aimlessly passing their days in the concrete environs of their dead-end suburbia, Vinz (Vincent Cassel), Hubert (Hubert Koundé), and Saïd (Saïd Taghmaoui)—Jewish, African, and Arab, respectively—give human faces to France’s immigrant populations, their bristling resentment at their marginalization slowly simmering until it reaches a climactic boiling point. A work of tough beauty, La Haine is a landmark of 1990s French cinema and a gripping reflection of its country’s ongoing identity crisis.

Don't miss out! Grab your popcorn and join us at the movies!

Some days our office is quiet, but that doesn't mean we aren't busy!

Today, 6 staff members were out at asylum interviews. Our staff have also covered several virtual or in-person legal clinic shifts.

We have 4 court hearings scheduled this week, 10 consults, and ICE check-ins.

And that's just the legal team!

Just thought we would share a little behind the scenes of our team!

HANDS OFF OUR CENSUS!
Speak up and protect an accurate 2030 census count!

Proposed changes to the 2030 census could erase communities and threaten fair representation and funding across the country. We need your voice to make sure everyone is counted!

Some of the changes that are wanted are:

~ Many residents would no longer count: International students, work-visa holders, refugees, asylees, and other residents would be dropped from the apportionment count for the first time.

~ Hinting at the possibility of adding an untested citizenship and immigration status question to the questionnaire to facilitate removing people from the count.

~ No race or ethnicity data: Asked in some form in every census since 1790, race and ethnicity questions would be prohibited. Nearly every other survey is weighted to census counts, so the loss would ripple through public health, civil rights, and business data.
