UR Citizens and its leaders have a better shot at reaching out to the country and have an open conversation about what works and how we can redefine how political power is apportioned in America representing interest of the people and communities and not exclusively of economic elite, power players, political establishment.
Become the best you are
capable of becoming. Go for it!
America is a greatest nation, a nation nourished by many cultures, traditions and peoples. Thus, immigration is not just a link to America’s past; it’s also a bridge to America’s future. Nearly 100 million citizens - or as many as one in three Americans - have been impacted by the legal system, ranging from suspended driving licenses to total loss of socioeconomic status and ability to be gainfully employed. Impacts which, for many without skills, without social and emotional support, can negatively influence lives forever. The social costs and economic losses run into the billions of dollars. If we are to remain an exceptional nation, we must close this gap in opportunity.
UR Citizen Project is shaping itself to become a leader in the movement to give every man and woman who is willing to work hard a chance to succeed in order to break this expensive and destructive cycle.
“The size of your dreams must always exceed your current capacity to achieve them. If your dreams do not scare you, they are not big enough.”

UR Citizens and its leaders have a better shot at reaching out to the country and have an open conversation about what works and how we can redefine how political power is apportioned in America representing interest of the people and communities and not exclusively of economic elite, power players, political establishment.
