Free Webinar: Reducing Barriers to Citizenship

from National Partnership for New Americans

Webinar on Reducing Barriers to Citizenship:
New Research and the Need for a Partial Fee Waiver

January 8, 2015 – 4pm ET / 1pm PT

The National Partnership for New Americans (NPNA), along with key allies, invites you to an important webinar right after the New Year focused on reducing the barriers to citizenship.

Webinar Details:
There are roughly 8.8 million lawful permanent residents in the United States who are currently eligible to apply for citizenship, yet the number of those naturalizing has been less than 800,000 for the past five consecutive years. In 2013, a mere 8.9 percent of eligible immigrants applied for citizenship.

This webinar will present the first-ever analysis of who those immigrants are by income, ethnicity, and education shedding light on the serious issue of how the cost of citizenship has become a systemic barrier for low-income immigrants, particularly Mexican immigrants, to become U.S. citizens.

Presenters:
Dr. Manuel Pastor, Center for the Study of Immigrant Integration, University of Southern California
Patrick Oakford, Center for American Progress
Melissa Rodgers, New Americans Campaign, Immigrant Legal Resource Center
Joshua Hoyt, National Partnership for New Americans, NPNA

When:
January 8, 2015 at 4pm ET / 1pm PT
Registration Deadline: January 7th, 2015

Please note that unfortunately we cannot guarantee your participation in the webinar if you register after January 7th.
