En los últimos meses muchas personas me han preguntado información acerca del proceso de adquirir un reporte de policía en la Ciudad de Baltimore.

On June 14^th, MIMA hosted a panel discussion on Workforce Development and New American Communities. The event included presentations from the Welcoming Center for New Pennsylvanians, WES Global Talent Bridge/IMPRINT and the Baltimore RISE Program. The event discussed topics ranging from creating economic opportunities for newly arrived immigrants, building opportunities for skilled immigrants and Baltimore City’s efforts to increase access to employment for refugees and immigrants. These presentations were possible thanks to the partnership and support of the Welcoming Communities Campaign, an initiative by the White House Task Force on New Americans, which was established in 2014 with the goal of integrating immigrants and refugees into American communities. Through this partnership, cities, such as Baltimore, have access to national experts and information on a series of topics impacting New Americans and receive technical assistance to further support their integration efforts.

America’s foundation was built on the vision of individuals who risked everything to start anew. The idea that one could arrive in the United States with little to nothing and build a life fueled an insurgence of entrepreneurs from across the globe. The “American Dream” is real, and Baltimore’s small business community is a magnet for the minds that are driving innovation and technology in varying industries nationwide.

After careful consideration, Mayor Rawlings-Blake notified the Baltimore City Council via letter of her veto of City Council Bill #12-0113, Charter Amendment – Ordinance of Estimates, and City Council Bill #15-0479, Charter Amendment – Board of Estimates – Composition.
