January 2021 Newsletter
This new year marks a new start for a lot of us. After a year through some of the darkest times for our communities through political uncertainty and the pandemic, we welcome this year with open arms and the possibilities it opens up for us.
As always, our Immigrant Legal Intake Service is a free and confidential screening tool for our community to identify existing immigration remedies beyond DACA. For the latest updates on DACA, check out our DACA updates page on our website.
We emphasize our screening service in particular because so many of these immigration remedies are time-sensitive, as our Immigration Legal Services Coordinator Jesús Flores Rodríguez notes in this EdSource article.
As we dive into 2021, we hope for a brighter future for all of our communities!
