Honoring the Power of Immigrant Leadership in Pennsylvania

​

For over 20 years, the Pennsylvania Immigration Coalition (PIC) has championed the rights of immigrants, migrants, and refugees across the state. Our collective strength is rooted in the people power of our immigrant communities—the very folks PIC member organizations work and organize with every day. 

 

Now more than ever, it’s crucial to make space for joy and reflection. That is why we’re coming together on September 30th of this year to celebrate the leaders who power this movement.

​

Join us for a powerful evening as we honor the individuals who are driving change in their communities through our Community Power Awards. These awards, nominated and selected by PIC members, recognize leaders who have advanced immigrant rights across Pennsylvania. 

​

This year, we’re proud to celebrate:

​

• A Community Leader
   

• A Youth Leader
   

• And honor Maria Serna with the Legacy Leader Award for her lifelong dedication to immigrant rights
   

We are thrilled to welcome Representative Johanny Cepeda-Freytiz as our keynote speaker for the evening. Together, we’ll lift up the power, passion, and resilience that fuels our shared movement and make lasting memories that will guide us on the road ahead.
