Center for New Americans Attends MIRA Coalition’s Immigrants Day at the State House

Center for New Americans students attended the Massachusetts Immigrant & Refugee Advocacy (MIRA) Coalition’s 29th Annual Immigrants Day at the Statehouse on March 19th. Students were inspired by the upbeat presentations and legislative leaders’ expressions of support, excited by the opportunity to meet with Senator Jo Comerford, Representative Lindsay Sabadosa, and Representative Mindy Domb, and grateful for the chance to visit House Chambers with Representative Sabodosa and the Senate with Senator Comerford. Students marveled: “Everything was amazing!” “Yesterday was a great and informative day. I felt like I was walking through a historical palace. All the members of the State House were nice to us and humble.” “I’ve been telling a lot of people about the tour. I loved going.”
