Statement
of Purpose/Activities:
El Comite de Longmont has two established efforts within
its civic education program that seeks to empower and
enhance civic participation among the Latino community.
First, we offer quarterly naturalization workshops to
assist legal permanent residents with the application
for citizenship. Acquiring citizenship opens additional
avenues for civic participation through the electoral
process and often enhances the applicant’s ability
to aid their family members in adjusting their immigration
status. Our second avenue for enhancing civic participation
in the Latino community is through our voter registration
efforts. We focus on registering eligible Latino voters
and new citizens and offer voter education forums to
increasing the engagement of these communities in the
political process.
Meeting Dates/Times: Registration
is ongoing, educational forums are in September/October
Are the meetings open to the public?
Yes
