Freshman State House Representative Johanny Cepeda-Freyitz has sponsored a bill that will allow non-citizens to become teachers in Pennsylvania.
Currently, the law provides that opportunity without challenging stipulations and for DACA recipients the path is even more challenging.
Cepeda-Freyitz thinks the bill is a "win-win" providing qualified teachers to help fill the current need for teachers and adding diversity to the teacher pool in Pennsylvania.Congreso has been a cultural landmark in Philadelphia for more than four decades and it continues to be a leading force in the Latino community today.
Congreso de Latinos Unidos was founded in November of 1977 by a small group of Puerto Rican activists. Forty-five years later, Congreso serves 12,000 people, offering everything from holiday meals and presents to programs for victims of crime.
