SIREN has a vision of a new America where immigrants are valued, integrated, and seen as essential to our society, and where the human rights of all persons are protected and honored. SIREN’s core value is immigrant empowerment. We focus on immigrants themselves being the primary agents of change. By strengthening and deepening the participation level and leadership of immigrants, we work toward long-term systemic changes that promote social justice and equality, freedom from oppression, and an end to poverty. Through these long-term systemic changes, immigrants will have the opportunity for individual/social responsibility, self-determination and political participation. By accomplishing this, we will have a society that is compassionate, inclusive and united.
In a partnership with the San Jose Public Library, SIREN will provide free legal consultations on the fourth Thursday of the month at a different public library in San Jose. We can help read documents, check for eligibility for immigration benefits, and explain the immigration process and how to navigate it. Drop-ins are welcome. First come first serve. Find out when we'll be at a library near you!
