    Pueblo Unido | Program Newsletter

    Pueblo Unido’s programs fall into three main categories: legal service navigation, social service navigation and support for the Collective of Indigenous Interpreters of Oregon (CIIO). 

    Long-term goals include ensuring:

    • All individuals with vulnerable immigration status are able to access legal representation in order to assert their rights, prevail against deportation, and win the right to remain in the U.S. with their families.

    • Immigrant community members are able to access the resources they need to achieve and maintain household stability, security and prosperity.

    • Language-justice: the right to understand and to be understood for Indigenous language speakers.
