In an exclusive interview with KALW, our very own Melissa Rodgers, Project Director for the New Americans Campaign, sat down with Hana Baba for a conversation on citizenship.

“RODGERS: We have helped over 100,000 people apply for citizenship. By helping people with fee waivers, we’ve saved communities over $89 million.
