Get Out the Vote!
The Immigration Advocates Network is pleased to join the
#NewAmericanVoters 2020 campaign. It is a digital campaign that
encourages the millions of newly naturalized citizens to vote in
upcoming elections. We can all support community and civic
engagement, by sharing resources that empower our newly naturalized
clients to vote. Since 2016, nearly 20,000 applicants have used
Citizenshipworks -
[link removed] to apply for citizenship! We are thinking about new ways to connect
our Citizenshipworks users to resources and opportunities to fully
engage in the benefits of citizenship. By registering and voting, new
citizens can help shape the future for immigrant families and
communities. If your organization helps folks on their path to
citizenship, check out the #NewAmericanVoters 2020 campaign to
register voters. For more information, go to
