Summary: 

This action was submitted through the GFMD Mayors Mechanism Call to Local Action for Migrants and Refugees.
Immigrants Lead Boston (ILB) collaborates with the City of Boston’s emerging immigrant leaders to encourage shared, equitable civic ownership. We aim to achieve this mission through a multi-session course. This course fosters knowledge, skills, relationships, and practices in the art of politics among diverse community leaders and advocates. Participants will build on their capacities to share useful resources, knowledge, and connections with the City government and with their communities, to critically engage in policies and programs addressing their needs, and to promote the issues most important for them and their communities.
