Welcome to our premiere episode! Parthiv Patel is a lawyer, a Dreamer, and a client of the ACLU-PA. After graduating from law school and passing the bar exam, Parthiv was initially denied his admission to the bar because of his immigration status. He discusses his experience as an immigrant, how he got his law license, and what the Dream Act means to people like him. Information about his case is available at aclupa.org/patel.

In March, the ACLU-PA recognized Sister Janice Vanderneck with the Marjorie Matson Award for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties for her work at Casa San Jose in Pittsburgh. Casa San Jose provides support to the local Latinx community and advocates for fair immigration policies. Learn more at casasanjose.org.
