An Advocate for Immigrants’ Rights – NCLR’s Immigration Project Associate
nclrights.orgEven as Latinx Heritage Month has come to a close, we continue to uplift Latinx voices year-round. This month, we are spotlighting our Immigration Project Associate Pamela Mercado Garcia (she/her/ella).
Pamela works with our Immigration and Asylum team. In 1994, NCLR was the first national LGBTQ organization to launch an Immigration Project.
As part of this program, the work that Pam does daily helps to carry on the life-saving work that this program has always focused on, including advancing immigration law and assisting thousands of LGBTQ immigrants in obtaining legal status in the U.S.
We are excited to celebrate Pam’s story with you: What is your background before joining NCLR? In 2019, I started working with Michigan United’s team as an Immigrants Rights Organizer.
