“Stand Stronger” Citizenship Awareness Campaign
“Stand Stronger” Citizenship Awareness Campaign was initiated by President Barack Obama on Citizenship and Constitution Day in September, 2015. The “Stand Stronger” project was launched together with nonprofit Civic Nation, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service, and White House Task Force. The “Stand Stronger” campaign encourages eligible immigrants (eligible lawful permanent residents – LPR’s) to become full American citizens by committing to citizenship.
There are more than 9 million eligible lawful permanent residents (LPRs) living in the United States of America who are eligible to apply for citizenship. Without being a full American citizen, these people cannot entirely enjoy the benefits, responsibilities, rights and opportunities that they are entitled to once they commit to citizenship.
Why Is “Stand Stronger” Citizenship Awareness Campaign Important?
The Commit To Citizenship multilingual public awareness campaign aims to promote refugee and immigrant integration by enhancing linguistics and education integration, expanding the number of welcoming communities (volunteer corps) and improving already existing naturalization pathways.
By lowering the bureaucratic barriers of becoming a citizen, the U.S. can strengthen its communities and enjoy higher economic prosperity. The United States of America has always been a nation of immigrants. Thus, allowing immigrants and refugees to set down their roots, use their skills and eventually commit to citizenship makes the U.S stronger as a country.
How “Stand Stronger” Citizenship Awareness Campaign Works?
In essence, the “Stand Stronger” Campaign aims to help immigrants and refugees on their way to becoming a U.S. citizen. The “Stand Stronger” Campaign engages different organizations across the country to strengthen already existing pathways to naturalization.
These organizations are, but not limited to, localities that bring immigration services where new Americans work and live, municipal governments, businesses that provide language classes and citizenship workshops to their employees, philanthropic communities, immigration serving organizations and refugee serving organizations.
With the “Stand Stronger” Campaign, the eligible lawful permanent residents (LDPs) will have better access to support and tools that they need to successfully apply for U.S. citizenship.
