			<title>HRC Volunteers Help 700 Immigrants Become Citizens </title>
			<pubDate>Tue, 08 May 2012 00:00:00 -0500</pubDate>

			<description>Throughout April, HRC leaders and volunteers worked in coalition with a diverse array of legal, immigrant and Latino/a organizations across the country to help some 700 legal permanent residents apply for citizenship. These citizenship workshops come at an especially critical time because many of these applicants – if all goes well with their application process – have enough time to become citizens and register to vote by the November elections.</description>

			<description>A new coalition of Eugene and Springfield groups says it wants to help create a welcoming and supportive environment for immigrants and promote a “thoughtful public dialogue about immigration.”

More than 30 groups have formed the Lane County Network for Immigrant Integration. On Monday, the coalition released an organizing statement of principles at a news conference at Springfield City Hall.

The principles, similar to those endorsed by community groups in other cities, aim to show appreciation for the economic, social, cultural and civic contributions made by immigrants in the Eugene-Springfield area, organizers said. Announced before about three dozen people, the principles also call for “humane and just” changes to national immigration law and seek to discourage discrimination against immigrant groups.</description>
