Citizenship Day 2024
AILA's 2024 Citizenship Day will be held on September 21, 2024. For more information, read this press release: AILA and Partners Celebrate the 19th AILA Citizenship Day.
Citizenship Day is a single-day nationwide event hosted by AILA chapters across the country and their local grassroots partners. Each year, Citizenship Day helps thousands of eligible legal permanent residents to prepare and apply for U.S. naturalization. According to the Department of Homeland Security, Office of Homeland Security Statistics, in 2023, of the 12.7 million lawful permanent residents, 9 million met the naturalization age and length of residency requirements as an LPR and thus were potentially eligible to naturalize.
In times fraught with negativity and fear surrounding the word "immigration", this annual event is taking on greater meaning. Citizenship workshops hosted by AILA chapters and affiliates will help create a safe and welcoming place for all immigrants and highlight the beautiful and powerful impact of immigrants in the United States.
