New Pathway for Undocumented Immigrants: President Biden's Executive Order Explained

Attention immigrant rights supporters and undocumented immigrants!

President Biden has announced a new pathway for certain undocumented immigrants to become Legal Permanent Residents without leaving the US. Key points:

For undocumented immigrants married to US citizens
Must have been in the US continuously for 10+ years
No criminal record
Applications start August 19 (more details coming soon)

This "Parole in Place" policy could be life-changing for many families. While it's a step forward, comprehensive immigration reform is still needed.

Want to learn more? Check out CATA's full blog post for eligibility details, required documents, and our perspective on this new policy.

Battling the Heat: Challenges and Resilience in Bridgeton's Community Garden

Our community garden in Bridgeton, NJ, is facing significant challenges due to extreme heat. These issues are affecting our plants' growth and overall health, making it harder for us to provide fresh produce to the community.

In our latest blog, we discuss the impact of the heatwave and how we're tackling these problems with sustainable gardening practices. You'll also learn about the importance of certain crops like pápalo and how we're working to overcome the hurdles we're facing.

Don't miss our next volunteer day on Saturday, August 10, from 9 AM to 1 PM! Volunteers take home part of the harvest for free!
