#1✨As we look back on the year, one moment stands above the rest: celebrating CARECEN’s 44th Anniversary, honoring that legacy & the movement that continues to drive us. We are grateful to sponsors & friends who joined us to celebrate & reconnect with the work. Here is to #2026!

#5 ✨This year, we celebrated the opening of our first MD office in Bladensburg, Prince George’s County. After years of serving Maryland residents from DC, opening this office was an intentional step to serve our community more directly. Here’s to expanding our impact.

This year alone, our Legal team delivered 140+ Know Your Rights presentations, including 40 in-person & 100+ virtual sessions, reaching over 6,658 families. We're shifting our focus to family emergency planning, helping families prepare for the unexpected w/ greater agency

#9✨In Oct, we joined the @dcnaacp on a panel discussion to discuss what immigration enforcement looks like in our city & the daily challenges our immigrant neighbors are facing. We must continue to talk about this & not normalize cruelty. Thank you @dcnaacp for standing with us

#13✨In Nov, 85+ community members joined this Community Conversation on Immigration. In times like these, active engagement & community support are our strongest tools for resistance. Thank you to the Immigration Safety Network for sponsoring this evening which raised $2,802!

#18 ✨We loved joining @TheCoalition_DC for their annual holiday luncheon. We’re proud to be one of their member organizations. Our housing team had a great time connecting with partners who share our commitment to supporting low‑income families. Thanks for the warm invitation!

This is an important step toward accountability & the protection of due process. As the court reviews these cases, we stand in solidarity w/the families affected by these unconstitutional practices. Every person deserves dignity, justice, & a fair process. https://t.co/SSw6FdDn0r

@carecensf @COPALMN @crecenhtx @migrante33 @CancilleriaCol @RostroCaribe Durante la acción simbólica, integrantes de la sociedad civil se quitaron los zapatos y los dejaron fuera de las sesiones principales, representando a quienes no tienen voz en los espacios de decisión. #ResistReclaimRealise #3RsTRONG #ReclaimOurNarrative #ResistToRealise

@carecensf @COPALMN @crecenhtx @migrante33 @CancilleriaCol @RostroCaribe En un contexto marcado por externalización de fronteras, deportaciones y falta de acompañamiento consular, insistimos: la migración debe abordarse desde la dignidad, los derechos humanos y el desarrollo. #ResistReclaimRealise #3RsTRONG #ReclaimOurNarrative #ResistToRealise
