Libertas clients seeking asylum feel absolute joy, freedom, safety and relief when granted asylum, which gives them a host of new opportunities in their lives and puts them on the path to family reunification, permanent residency, and citizenship. Specifically, U.S. citizenship is incredibly meaningful to clients as it gives them a true sense of belonging in the U.S, their new home.
Clients want to take a moment to celebrate these positive moments: “I would very much [like to celebrate my citizenship] when it happens.”
World Refugee Day is an opportunity to celebrate all aspects of clients’ identities, including their citizenship. As the world sees millions displaced globally each year, with substantial delays in the processing of refugees and asylum seekers, Libertas clients continue to display extraordinary resilience that deserves recognition.
We look forward to celebrating clients’ identity, strength, and courage with you on World Refugee Day and beyond!
In celebration of World Refugee Day, the Libertas Center is hoping to raise $4,000 for Libertas clients’ emergency needs. Thank you for your support!
