This week, we’re celebrating the many New American elected officials who were just sworn into office! From coast to coast, in places like Colorado, Georgia, Ohio, Texas, and Washington, D.C., New Americans are making their voices heard and stepping into leadership roles in their communities.

These individuals—many of whom are NAL alumni—are trailblazers, and their election is an inspiration for many immigrants who are seeking to be part of the political process and make their voices heard. It’s also a reminder that New American leadership is an essential part of our democracy, and that immigrants can and do play a critical role in shaping our country's future. (Check out the NAL News and Updates section to see a few of our newly sworn-in alumni who are changing the face of leadership across the country!)

As we enter the new year, the future of U.S. immigration policy is uncertain, with a number of key cases set to be decided by the courts in 2023. From the DACA program to the “public charge” rule, these cases have the potential to shape the lives of millions of immigrants and their families.

In this critical moment, let's make sure that our voices are heard and that we continue to fight for the rights of immigrants and New American communities. We must continue advocating for policies that reflect our values of fairness, compassion, and justice.
