The recent federal policy changes may have created feelings of uncertainty and concern. We want to assure you that the City remains dedicated to our diverse community. We will continue to help our community’s well-being, supporting resident needs, and ensuring a welcoming environment for all. We are proud to be a welcoming community that celebrates diversity and fosters inclusion. 

During the January 21, 2025 Council Meeting, Mayor Kabir read and signed the One College Park Proclamation, which affirms the City’s commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion. This proclamation is a declaration that we are committed to creating a welcoming environment for everyone—regardless of race, ethnicity, gender identity, socioeconomic status, or any other characteristic. You can read it here. 

In line with this commitment, we are sharing a list of resources that may be of help to you, a neighbor, a family member, or a friend. Whether you’re looking for legal aid, assistance, or mental health support, here are some resources that may help: 

  1. Prince George’s County Public Schools created a list of immigration resources and help for the community.
