Mobilize – Changemakers at MCC

MOBILIZE

At MCC, we are not only committed to ensuring our community has the opportunity to vote but also to advocating for the issues and ideas we hold valuable, while supporting the voices of our community. This will be a place to stay connected and updated on timely issues, and also share with us what is on your mind or how you are advocating for change. 

Support Asylum Seekers

Volunteers will work with asylum seekers to complete work authorization applications, which are required for them to work in the United States. This is a crucial pathway to their independence and financial stability. Please consider assisting this community of new immigrants to our city.
