Woori Center's Story

Prior to 2002, Pennsylvania residents could legally obtain a driver’s license with a tax ID number or ITIN, a federally issued identifier used to pay taxes by those who do not have a social security number. In 2009, however, PennDot canceled this way of obtaining licenses and left tens of thousands of undocumented Pennsylvanians without access to a driver’s license. This causes fear and stress within the immigrant community, especially those who are undocumented and families with mixed immigration statuses. Moreover, it harms PA’s economy and makes our roads less safe for everyone.

In 2022, Woori Center made over 86,000 calls to about 27,000 Asian Americans in Pennsylvania regarding Driver’s Licenses for All. 79% of our respondents supported extending driving privileges to all Pennsylvanians regardless of immigration status. Now, it is time to push for victory, but we need your support. Please contribute what you can; there is no amount too small or too big. Your donation will be used to cover the cost of campaign materials, transportation to Harrisburg, interpretation, and our statewide coordinator’s salary. 

Join in the fight! Contribute today and celebrate victory tomorrow!


2002년까지는 사회보장번호(Social Security Number)가 없는 펜실베니아 거주자도 세금납부 시 사용하는 연방 발행 세금 ID 번호 또는 개인 납세자 식별 번호(Individual Taxpayer Identification Number)를 사용하여 합법적으로 운전면허증을 취득할 수 있었습니다. 그러나 2009년에 펜주 교통국(PennDot)이 이러한 면허 취득 방법을 폐지함에 따라, 펜주의 서류미비 주민 수만 명이 운전 면허증을 취득할 수 없게 되었습니다. 이로 인해 이민자 커뮤니티, 특히 가족 중에 서류미비 이민자가 있는   가족들은 두려움과 스트레스 속에서 생활하게 되었을 뿐만 아니라, 펜실베니아 경제와 도로 안전에도 타격이 큽니다. 


2022년 우리센터는 펜주에 거주하는 약 27,000명의 아시아계 미국인에게 86,000 건 이상의 전화를 걸어 펜주 주민 “모두를 위한 운전면허증”에 대한 지지 여부를 물었습니다. 응답자의 79% 는 이민신분에 관계없이 모든 펜주 거주자들에게 운전면허증 취득 권리를 확대하는 것을 지지하였습니다. 

이제 “모두를 위한 운전면허증” 제도의 실현을 위해 더욱 힘써야 할 때입니다. 여러분의 지원과 참여가 필요한 이 때, 캠페인을 위한 기부를 요청드립니다. 작거나 큰 기부금 모두 큰 도움이 되며, 여러분의 기부금은 캠페인 자료, 해리스버그(Harrisburg) 방문 교통비, 통역 및 캠페인 코디네이터의 급여를 충당하는 것에 사용됩니다. 

우리 캠페인에 함께 해주세요! 지금 기부하시고, 모두를 위한 운전면허증의 승리에 함께 해주세요!
