Dream Defenders Award to NLG Immigration Project
Congratulations to the NLG’s Immigration Project!
From the National Lawyers Guild:
The National Immigration Project/NLG is truly humbled to learn that it will receive the Dream Defender’s Award from United We Dream www.unitedwedream.org for its “dedicated efforts in support of immigrant youth and for its partnership in making a positive difference for our immigrant communities.”
Although this an organizational recognition, it reflects the tireless staff work of Paromita Shah, the work of board member Barbara Hines, and that of each member who is participating on our Dreamers referral list. Thanks to all.
The awards presentation will be a part of United We Dream’s Education Not Deportation Mock Graduation on June 29 10:30am-12pm, in the Kennedy Caucus Room at the Russell Senate Building. The ceremony will be held at 11:15am immediately following a speech from Jose Antonio Vargas, an undocumented Pulitzer winner whose story has recently gained worldwide attention.
