We are experiencing a time of great uncertainty for immigrants in our community. Whether you’re a U.S. citizen, a green card holder, a student on a visa, or undocumented, you have legal rights.
The City of Cambridge welcomes, serves, and supports all members of our community, regardless of immigration status. In 2020, the Cambridge City Council passed the Welcoming Community Ordinance, formally enshrining these values into our municipal code. We have upheld this commitment, most recently last year, when a Safety Net Shelter was opened by the state in East Cambridge, and we saw neighbors, residents, organizations, and City staff come together to support families in need.
The Commission on Immigrant Rights and Citizenship (CIRC) is a City department dedicated to welcoming, informing, connecting, and supporting Cambridge’s immigrant community. CIRC provides information on legal resources, support services, and guidance on reporting discrimination based on protected classes, such as national origin and race.
CIRC also organizes Know-Your-Rights trainings for residents, students, visitors, and community organizations serving our immigrant community.
