The application process for U.S. Citizenship can be an intimidating experience for many people-- the form is long and tedious, and because of this, many individuals choose not to begin the process toward naturalization.
Derechos Humanos is leading this community effort to help legal permanent residents fill out the application to beging the citizenship process.
We are in need of processors, interpreters, runners, etc.-- Spanish fluency is very helpful, but not required.
For more information, or to find out how you can help or support, contact the Derechos Humanos office at: 520.770.1373.
------------------------------- Derechos Humanos is committed to facilitating the access to power that is often denied to individuals who are not citizens. Our naturalization/citizenship fairs assist community members begin the citizenship process. It has been estimated that there are thousands of legal permanent residents statewide who qualify to begin the citizenship process but have not done so. This is often because the application process is so intimidating, and people aren't exactly sure where to go. Citizenship fairs are where volunteer processors and immigration attorneys assist legal permanent residents who qualify for naturalization to fill out the required forms, provide a safe, free space for individuals to seek help and advice. In this way, individuals will be able to participate more fully in the political process, as well as securing additional protection for their families.
