Mission Statement
Florida Immigrant Coalition seeks equal rights for immigrants and integration into the civic and cultural life of our communities. We accomplish our mission through coordination of immigrant organizations and community education, organizing and advocacy.
Description
The Coalition believes in the empowerment of immigrants and the unification of immigrant communities to develop an amplified voice for immigrant rights. The Coalition fulfils this vision by uniting urban, rural, religious, legal, and community-based organizations to advance our mission.
In 2012, FLIC founded the Florida New Americans program. Through our Florida New Americans program, we help Legal Permanent Residents not only to become Citizens but also to participate actively in the civic life by exercising their right to vote. Our vote is our voice! We program monthly citizenship clinics where Legal Permanent Residents consult with an attorney 1-on-1 and by the end of the clinic, clients should be able to send out their application to USCIS for FREE if they qualify!
