Just last month I received my American citizenship.It was a small ceremony with social distancing and masks, but nevertheless it was moving to be counted as one of the many millions of immigrants to the US. 30 Poems in November! is a literary fundraiser for Center for New Americans. Center for New Americans welcomes and serves immigrants in Western Massachusetts with free English classes and a range of support services. For more information, please visit: http://www.cnam.org This year, we aim to raise $50,000. Writers do their part by writing one poem each day in November. Friends and family do their part by donating to support this effort. Powerful new poems and financial contributions translate to community support for immigrants. Your support helps forge new and meaningful connections with the use of language and community.
