The Unity Council had the honor of welcoming Congresswoman Lateefah Simon to our free citizenship class, held in partnership with Oakland Adult and Career Education.
During her visit, Congresswoman Simon connected with aspiring U.S. citizens—listening to their stories and engaging in a meaningful conversation about the importance of civic participation and community leadership.
Her visit was a powerful reminder of the strength, resilience, and determination within our immigrant communities. Despite ongoing challenges, participants continue to show up with hope, commitment, and a belief in the opportunities this nation can offer.
The Unity Council remains committed to supporting immigrant communities across the East Bay—providing resources, education, and advocacy to help individuals feel informed, empowered, and protected.
