Civic Engagement & Voting

Civic engagement is an important way for former refugees, asylees, and immigrants to ensure our voices are heard on important issues affecting us and our communities.

Elections are coming in November 2020. Are you ready to vote?

Former refugees, asylees, and immigrants who are American citizens have an opportunity to use your voices to elect local, state, and national leaders.
