At LORI, we believe in the power of civic engagement to drive positive change in our communities. We are dedicated to empowering immigrants to actively participate in the civic life of our society, and we firmly support the idea that everyone, regardless of background or origin, has a valuable contribution to make to the social and political fabric of our country.

Our civic engagement initiatives aim to educate, equip, and mobilize immigrant communities to exercise their rights, advocate for their needs, and play an active role in shaping the policies and decisions that affect their lives. We provide various opportunities and resources for immigrants to engage in the democratic process, including:

• Voter Education and Registration: We conduct voter education campaigns to inform immigrants about their rights and responsibilities as voters, and we provide assistance with voter registration to ensure that every eligible member of our community has the opportunity to have their voice heard.
• Community Advocacy and Leadership Development: Through workshops, training programs, and community events, we foster the development of immigrant leaders who can effectively advocate for issues that are important to their communities. We encourage and support our members to engage with local and state officials, as well as to participate in public hearings and town hall meetings.
• Immigration Policy Advocacy: Actively engaging and advocating for fair and just immigration policies at local, state, and national levels is our utmost priority. We work to raise awareness about the challenges faced by immigrant communities and to promote policies that uphold the dignity and rights of all individuals, regardless of immigration status.
• Collaborative Partnerships: Collaborating with other community organizations, advocacy groups, and government agencies to amplify our impact and create a unified voice for immigrant communities. By working together, we can achieve greater visibility and influence in the civic and political spheres.
  
  We are committed to fostering a culture of active citizenship and inclusive participation. By participating in civic engagement, immigrants not only contribute to the betterment of their own lives and the lives of their families but also enrich the broader tapestry of our society.
