June is Immigrant Heritage Month! Join us to #CelebrateImmigrants by honoring and lifting up the contributions of immigrants of all backgrounds. This month provides people across the country an opportunity to explore their own heritage and celebrate the diversity that forms the unique, rich American experience.

It is vital that we urge the administration and Congress to pass a path to citizenship for the 11 million undocumented community members – many of whom have kept our families and communities safe and healthy as essential workers during the pandemic. It is long past time for our nation to fulfill its moral imperative to provide a path to citizenship for undocumented community members who already call the U.S. home.

Here are the top ways to take action:

Fast for a Path to Citizenship: Join the #WeAreEssential “Fast for Freedom” kick off in DC on June 9th or plan a fast or vigil in your community using this toolkit. Register for the fast here.
Contact Your Members of Congress: Click here to urge your members of Congress to support and pass a pathway to citizenship for 11 million undocumented neighbors.
Share on Social Media: Celebrate Immigrant Heritage by sharing this sample social and graphics. This toolkit offers more graphics and gifs, plus some beautiful ideas of ways to share your Immigrant Heritage Month stories. Don’t forget to tag @iamanimmigrant and use the hashtag #ImmigrantHeritageMonth.
Join a Virtual Event: Tune in here for a special broadcast, “I ❤️ My Immigrant Family,” on June 14th at 12pm ET to celebrate immigrants and children.

Thank you for taking action - and please share this information with your networks!
