Featured speaker: Margie McHugh
Co-Director,
National Center on Immigrant Integration Policy
Immigration Justice in the Post-9/11 Era
Margie McHugh has built a powerful coalition of more than
150 immigrant rights groups to promote action at the local, state and federal
levels on a wide range of immigration law, social service and education policy
issues. Under McHugh's leadership, the coalition has won new resources for
legal aid to immigrants, literacy classes for adults and the expansion of New York State's emergency food program. It has
also helped to improve the quality of education for the city's immigrant
students and offered translation and interpreting services for their parents.
At the same time, the coalition has forged a strong working relationship with
the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service, which has helped cut
bureaucratic bottlenecks and reduce the backlog of citizenship applications
from three years to one.
