Today, we remember the canonization of Saint Romero, celebrated on October 14, 2018, under the late Pope Francis. We are proud, at CARECEN, to honor his legacy and the deep impact he had on our community. His faith and dedication continue to inspire us all. #SaintRomero #LegacyOfFaith

Do not miss the great Chijioke Akamigbo on how Rising for Justice is training a new generation of public interest lawyers while representing those most at risk of eviction and homelessness. And yes, these awesome lawyers and social workers are in Court every day to meet the moment.

Today, as we celebrate the dignity of labor and the contributions of workers across the country, we hold space and stand in solidarity for those whose labor is undervalued and criminalized, especially immigrant workers who build our communities and care for our loved ones.
