Naturalization, voter registration and voting are the important steps to leadership roles in our elections. The coalition group includes immigrants, refugees, and American citizens who use their collective strength and diversity to empower and contribute to the advancement of our communities. Family values, cultural traditions and immigrant history are the building blocks on which we base our outreach and consensus building.
