Celebrate Hope, Resilience, and Determination this Immigrant Heritage Month
|
|
June is Immigrant Heritage Month, a time to honor the remarkable contributions and achievements of immigrants in our nation's history. As we reflect on the past, we also acknowledge the persistence, determination, and vibrant presence of today's immigrant communities. However, we recognize the ongoing need to advance access to health care, education, and economic security for all. Throughout the month, CLASP released a weekly blog to spotlight the triumphs, challenges, and invaluable contributions of individuals who have embarked on the immigrant journey.
Join us in celebrating Immigrant Heritage Month as we amplify these narratives and foster a more inclusive understanding of the immigrant experience. Together, let's build a society that embraces diversity and empowers immigrants to thrive.
