\"\"<\/a>DETROIT, MI, July 24, 2024: \u00a0The Michigan Immigrant Rights Center (MIRC) is honored to receive the 2024 Champion of Change Award for its outstanding work advocating for children and families. The award was presented July 24th at the Michigan Justice for Children Conference, hosted by the Governor\u2019s Task Force on Child Abuse and Neglect and Children’s Advocacy Centers of Michigan. The annual event is dedicated to advancing the well-being of children and forward-thinking strategies to address the challenges faced by children in Michigan and globally.<\/p>\n

The Champion of Change award recognizes an individual or organization that embraces and supports change and is a leader in their community. The change may be affected in systems or policies, legislation, or in the attitudes and behaviors of stakeholders. The Champion of Change welcomes change, uplifts others, and embraces diversity, equity, and inclusion. The awardee represents a steadfast commitment to advocating for children and families, and demonstrates outstanding leadership. Additionally, the awardee demonstrates achievements that have fostered positive impacts for children and families; a commitment to high standards of integrity, accountability, and thoughtful leadership; and has the skills and willingness to embrace change.<\/p>\n

MIRC was selected as this year\u2019s Champion of Change in recognition of their work on behalf of immigrant children across the state. MIRC represents hundreds of children in search of safety and stability, and serves every unaccompanied child in Michigan in federal custody. These children participate in court proceedings meant to decide their fate and yet are not provided with an attorney by right. Many of the children are also in custodial systems where they have little access to the family and support systems that are crucial to their well-being. As a statewide legal resource center for low-income immigrants, MIRC is privileged to represent these children. The organization helps their young clients navigate complicated legal processes and works to ensure their rights are upheld in the custodial and legal systems.\u00a0
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

The children MIRC serves have faced many difficulties on their path to seek safety and become a meaningful part of Michigan communities. Sadly, unaccompanied immigrant children are often demonized in political rhetoric. MIRC staff have the rare opportunity to know their stories, their dreams, and prepare them for futures where they can thrive and contribute back to their communities and the state that welcomed them.\u00a0
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cWe are deeply honored and grateful to receive this award,\u201d said MIRC Managing Attorney Ana Raquel Devereaux. \u201cWe appreciate the support of all those who contribute their time and talents to serving children, including our many community partners, our equity-minded funders, and our dedicated staff who bring their whole selves to the work and are focused solely on the well-being of children and the communities we serve.\u201d

Organizaci\u00f3n de inmigrantes honrada en la Conferencia de Justicia para los Ni\u00f1os de Michigan<\/em><\/p>\n

DETROIT, MI, 24 de julio de 2024: \u2013 El Centro de Derechos de los Inmigrantes de Michigan (MIRC) tiene el honor de recibir el Premio Campe\u00f3n del Cambio 2024 por su excelente trabajo en la defensa de los ni\u00f1os y las familias. El premio fue presentado el 24 de julio en la Conferencia de Justicia para los Ni\u00f1os de Michigan, organizada por el Grupo de Trabajo de la Gobernadora sobre Abuso y Negligencia Infantil y los Centros de Defensa de los Ni\u00f1os de Michigan. El evento anual se dedica a promover el bienestar de los ni\u00f1os y a las estrategias de ideas-anticipatorias para afrontar los retos a los que se enfrentan los ni\u00f1os en Michigan y en todo el mundo.
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

El premio”Campe\u00f3n del Cambio” reconoce a una persona u organizaci\u00f3n que adopta y apoya el cambio y es l\u00edder en su comunidad. El cambio puede afectar a sistemas o pol\u00edticas, a la legislaci\u00f3n, o a las actitudes y comportamientos de las partes interesadas. El Campe\u00f3n del Cambio da la bienvenida al cambio, eleva a los dem\u00e1s y abraza la diversidad, la equidad y la inclusi\u00f3n. El premiado representa un compromiso firme a la defensa de los ni\u00f1os y las familias, y demuestra un liderazgo sobresaliente. Adem\u00e1s, el premiado demuestra logros que han promovido impactos positivos para los ni\u00f1os y las familias; un compromiso con altos est\u00e1ndares de integridad, responsabilidad y\u00a0 liderazgo reflexivo; y tiene las habilidades y la voluntad de aprovechar el cambio.<\/p>\n

MIRC fue seleccionado como Campe\u00f3n del Cambio este a\u00f1o en reconocimiento a su trabajo en nombre de los ni\u00f1os inmigrantes en todo el estado.\u00a0 MIRC representa a cientos de ni\u00f1os en busca de seguridad y estabilidad, y atiende a todos los ni\u00f1os no acompa\u00f1ados de Michigan bajo custodia federal. Estos ni\u00f1os participan en procedimientos judiciales destinados a decidir su destino y, sin embargo, no tienen el derecho legal de recibir un abogado. Muchos de los ni\u00f1os tambi\u00e9n se encuentran en sistemas de custodia donde tienen poco acceso a sus familias y a los sistemas de apoyo que son cruciales para su bienestar. Siendo un centro estatal de recursos jur\u00eddicos para inmigrantes de bajos ingresos, MIRC tiene el privilegio de representar a estos ni\u00f1os. La organizaci\u00f3n ayuda a sus clientes j\u00f3venes a navegar por procesos legales complicados y trabaja para garantizar que sus derechos sean respetados en los sistemas legales y de custodia.<\/p>\n

Los ni\u00f1os a los que atiende MIRC se han enfrentado con muchas dificultades en su camino para buscar seguridad y formar una parte integral de las comunidades de Michigan. Lamentablemente, los ni\u00f1os inmigrantes no acompa\u00f1ados son a menudo demonizados en la ret\u00f3rica pol\u00edtica. El personal del MIRC tiene la rara oportunidad de conocer sus historias, sus sue\u00f1os y prepararlos para un futuro en el que puedan prosperar y contribuir a sus comunidades y al estado que los acogi\u00f3.<\/p>\n

\u201cNos sentimos profundamente honrados y agradecidos de recibir este premio\u201d, dijo la abogada gerente del MIRC, Ana Raquel Devereaux. \u201cApreciamos el apoyo de todos aquellos que contribuyen con su tiempo y talento para servir a los ni\u00f1os, incluyendo nuestros muchos compa\u00f1eros de la comunidad, nuestros financiadores con mentalidad de equidad, y nuestro personal dedicado que traen todo su ser al trabajo y se centran exclusivamente en el bienestar de los ni\u00f1os y las comunidades que servimos.\u201d<\/p>\n

Los j\u00f3venes y las familias inmigrantes de Michigan que tengan preguntas sobre sus derechos pueden llamar al MIRC al (734) 239-6863.<\/p>\n
