The government is trying to indefinitely block many asylum seekers from obtaining work permits. To ensure our community’s voice is heard before the deadline, we are hosting a public-comment writing training and workshop for the community. The government is required to review all substantive comments, which can lead to improvements in the proposed rule, delays in implementation of harmful rules, and evidence for litigation efforts to block a bad rule. Never written a public comment? No worries - we'll provide information on what the rule includes and how to write an effective comment opposing it. Join us to turn your concerns into a powerful formal record in defense of the right of our neighbors to support themselves and their families with dignity.
