OOVC to table at the Mexican Consulate

The OOVC has been invited by the Mexican Consulate to host a table, twice a month, with information about free and low cost legal services available to the immigrant and refugee community in the Austin area. This is a wonderful opportunity for PAPA to reach more people and, starting on Monday, March 19th, you'll be able to find me or PAPA Outreach Assistant, Isela Guerra (whom you see in the photo), from 8:30 - 1:00 pm manning our stations at the consulate. Questions should be directed to the OOVC, 512.478.0546 ext. 214.

Also, on the whole, we get lots of questions about immigrants and social services. TCFV has a great deal of information on this topic -- such as Welfare, Immigration, and VAWA; Immigration, Frequently Asked Questions; etc. An invaluable resource. Check it out:
