About Lucas Cabral
I serve as Senior Legislative Assistant and Program Manager at NALEO Educational Fund, where I lead advocacy to make the naturalization process more affordable, accessible, and equitable. With an MPA from American University, I work closely with policymakers to reduce financial and language barriers to citizenship. I also direct Staff Up Congress, a professional development initiative to help build a more diverse congressional workforce. My work is rooted in the belief that policy change can drive meaningful progress toward a more inclusive democracy.
