      Citizenship Resources for Cesar Chavez Day

      On the last Monday of March, schools in California, Texas, and Colorado observe Cesar Chavez Day.

      ]

       uscitizenpod: Cesar Chavez and Dolores Huerta

      Cesar Chavez and Dolores Huerta started the United Farm Workers union, because farm workers did not have

      "the legal right to organize and to vote for collective bargaining. They didn't have the right to have clean drinking water, access to portable toilets, lunch breaks, or short rest breaks during workdays. And they were not entitled to the minimum wage or unemployment insurance."

      USCIS 100:51. What are two rights of everyone living in the United States?
      • freedom of expression
      • freedom of speech
      • freedom of assembly
      • freedom to petition the government
      • freedom of worship
      • the right to bear arms

            July 4 is an important date. The country of America was born July 4, 1776.

            In June 1776, a little over a year after the start of the American Revolutionary War, the US Continental Congress huddled together in a hot room in Philadelphia to talk independence. Kenneth C. Davis dives into some of the lesser known facts about the process of writing the Declaration of Independence and questions one very controversial omission.

                        USCIS Temporarily Closing Offices to the Public March 18-April 

                        uscis@public.govdelivery.com 

                        Mar 17, 2020, 7:29 PM

                        Effective March 18, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services is suspending in-person services at its field offices, asylum offices and Application Support Centers (ASCs) to help slow the spread of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). This suspension of services will be effective until at least April 1. In the meantime, USCIS will provide limited emergency services. Please call the Contact Center for assistance with emergency services.

                        USCIS field offices will send notices to applicants and petitioners with scheduled appointments and naturalization ceremonies impacted by this closure. USCIS asylum offices will send interview cancellation notices and automatically reschedule asylum interviews. When the interview is rescheduled, asylum applicants will receive a new interview notice with the new time, date and location of the interview. When USCIS again resumes normal operations, USCIS will automatically reschedule ASC appointments due to the office closure. You will receive a new appointment letter in the mail. Individuals who had InfoPass or other appointments must reschedule through the USCIS Contact Center once field offices are open to the public again. Please check to see if your field office has been reopened before reaching out to the USCIS Contact Center.   

                        Education and precautions are the strongest tools against infection. Get the latest facts by visiting the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s COVID-19 website. Continue to practice good health habits, refrain from handshakes or hugs as greetings, and wash hands and clean surfaces appropriately.

                        USCIS will provide further updates as the situation develops and will continue to follow CDC guidance. Please also visit uscis.gov/coronavirus for updates.

                         Late Tuesday, March 17 USCIS released an alert in response to COVID-1D.  I immediately started working on the video below.  I will post the videos for lessons 2 and 3 later today.
