On Tuesday, we were delighted to return to our monthly community citizenship workshops with Cambridge Citizenship Day —our first workshop since Boston Citizenship Day earlier this month.

With the help of 29 Sanofi US volunteers, we assisted 38 aspiring citizens complete their N-400 applications. We are deeply grateful to our partners for helping make the day possible: thank you to Sanofi, the City of Cambridge’s Commission on Immigrant Rights and Citizenship, and Mayor Sumbul Siddiqui for their support and partnership.

One participant shared: “I feel at home and want to secure my future here, to be able to travel with a U.S. passport, and to participate in my community by voting and having a voice in our democracy.”

Thank you to everyone who volunteered, partnered, and supported this workshop. It was wonderful to gather together again and continue supporting aspiring Americans on their citizenship journeys. 🇺🇸

This past Saturday, we gathered for the 12th Annual Boston Citizenship Day and we’re feeling incredibly grateful. 💙

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who made the day possible, from our dedicated volunteers, pro bono attorneys, and interpreters, to our community partners and staff who came together to make this event welcoming, thoughtful, and impactful. We’re especially grateful to our event partner, the Mayor's Office for Immigrant Advancement - Boston, for their continued collaboration and commitment.

This year, we served 158 aspiring citizens, and supported 20+ additional walk-ins by connecting them with trusted partners and resources when they weren’t yet eligible or needed other services.

While attendance was lower than in years past, each of this year's 168 participants represent 168 individual lives, stories, families, and futures. We're proud to have stood alongside each of these immigrants on their way to U.S. citizenship.

Now more than ever, it is critical that we celebrate and support aspiring citizens who have chosen to make Massachusetts their home. Boston Citizenship Day is one way we do that, but our work continues year-round.

If you or someone you know couldn’t join us on Saturday, we have two upcoming citizenship application workshops this month (one in Cambridge and one at our Boston office), and we’re here to help! 🔗Learn more at www.projectcitizenship.org.

Thank you again to our event sponsors, MassHealth, and the Reggie Lewis Track and Athletic Center!

Boston Citizenship Day is nearly here, and behind this one day is months of very human work.

Since January, our team has been in weekly planning meetings, shaping everything from outreach to volunteer trainings to how we create a welcoming experience for every person who walks through the door.

All year, we’ve poured care into this effort—connecting with referral partners, staying closely coordinated with our partners at the Mayor's Office for Immigrant Advancement - Boston, and spending hours out in the community flyering, conducting info sessions, spreading the word, and answering questions.

Along the way, we’ve continued to adapt—responding to policy changes, strengthening our approach, and learning from the clients, volunteers, and partners who shape our work.

At the end of the day, this work is both deeply thoughtful and deeply human. It’s people showing up for their neighbors. It’s sharing knowledge, resources, and time so that those in our communities who are eligible for U.S. citizenship can get the support they need to take that life-changing step.

This is what Boston Citizenship Day is all about.
