Hi Friend,

✨🧡 It’s Immigrant Day of Resilience! 🧡✨

On this very special day, we honor the resilience of all immigrants who come together time and time again to care for each other and create the community necessary to survive and thrive in the face of anti-immigrant violence. And, we would love for you to join us in this celebration of our immigrant identities!

So, friend, how are YOU honoring your strength and existence on this Immigrant Day of Resilience? Personally, I’ll be journaling and reflecting on how far back immigration runs in my lineages, and the ancestors I have to thank for their lived experiences that led me to where I am now. 🌱

If you’ve yet to make any plans of your own, here’s how you can participate in this day:

💌 Honor an immigrant loved one: Earlier this week, you submitted the names of special immigrants in your life. Take a look at what others in our community have shared. (ps: there’s still time to honor a loved one if you haven’t yet!)

🎨 Uplift the artwork of immigrant voices: Check out this touching piece by the talented Loisse Ledres and share with others to reflect on your own personal immigrant narratives and lived experiences

Share on Instagram

I’m excited to see what you will be doing on this Immigrant Day of Resilience to cherish yourself! Don’t forget to join us in honoring our stories by submitting the name of an immigrant loved one and sharing immigrant artwork!

With love,

Ayling and the rest of the UWD Team
