PICC is hosting our annual Immigrant & Refugee Advocacy Day on Monday, April 11th, 2016. This event will bring together immigrant and refugee communities, advocates and allies for a short advocacy training in the morning and visits to legislators in the afternoon.
Our advocacy priorities for visits this year will be:
• Educating legislators about the contributions of immigrant and refugee communities to Pennsylvania
• PA Dream Act. A proposal to provide tuition equity and access to financial aid for all students, regardless of immigration status
• Driver’s license bill. A proposal to allow all residents of Pennsylvania to obtain a driver’s license, regardless of immigration status
• Raising the minimum wage
• Fair and adequate funding for public schools
