“The demand for immigration legal services in New England only continues to grow and has stretched beyond the current capacity of our dedicated non-profit providers, especially when it comes to bilingual and bicultural support. We are looking forward to collaborating with our future fellows to create future accredited representatives and ultimately, ensure that all immigrant communities have access to the legal assistance they deserve.” MIRA’s Executive Director Liz Sweet
MIRA is honored to share that we have been awarded the 2025 Community Advocacy Award by Eastern Bank. Thank you to Eastern Bank!
