PHOENIX, AZ - Poder Latinx is hosting a free, two-part citizenship clinic available to local community members in Phoenix, Arizona. Part 1 of 2 will be held during Univision’s Feria Financiera (Financial Fair).

Poder Latinx will be present from 9:00 - 10:00 AM for a live Q&A session to discuss citizenship eligibility requirements, the process to apply for citizenship, and how to request a fee waiver for the cost of filing a citizenship application. Poder Latinx will be tabling at the Feria Financiera from 10:00 AM - 1:00 PM to discuss any additional questions to assist participants with preparing for the citizenship workshop, to be held on April 29, 2023.
During part 2 of 2, community members can apply for citizenship with assistance from pro-bono attorneys at no cost and receive support in filling out forms and paperwork. In order to take part in the citizenship clinic, applicants must attend the informational session in person.
Assistance will be available in English and Spanish during both events.
