In a new column for NewAmericanMedia.org, Deepak Bhargava writes about Democracy Summer, a fantastic campaign by the We Are America Alliance to help immigrants become citizens and voters:

Either by naturalizing to become citizens or by registering to vote, immigrants, citizens and their allies are not going to wait for Congress to move on an immigration bill before they claim their own stake in our democracy. As the summer heats up, immigrants will be engaged like never before through this campaign to turn immigrants into citizens and marchers into voters.

Democracy Summer kicks off on July 1. The National Korean American Service & Education Consortium is one of the participants -- Click here to find out how to get involved in the NKASEC's LA events.
