On this International Women's Day, I am proud to celebrate the immense courage, resilience, and power of immigrant women. As pillars in our families and communities, we forge new paths with an unwavering spirit, carrying dreams of better futures, and enriching the fabric of our nation.

We are immigrant women.

We are mothers, sisters, aunts, and daughters, making sacrifices to ensure our families have every opportunity to thrive and live healthy and productive lives.

We are doctors, caring for our communities. We are teachers, inspiring the next generation. And we are entrepreneurs, bolstering our economy.

We are leaders, rallying our communities to demand dignity, fairness, and equality for all.

We are immigrant women.

At NILC, we remain committed to advocating for laws and policies that uphold the dignity and respect of immigrant women and their loved ones.

And we are proud to partner with you in our fight, friend. Together, let's continue to advocate for a world where every woman, regardless of her background, can pursue her dreams and aspirations freely and safely.

Thank you for joining us in celebrating the resilience and strength of immigrant women on this special day.

Sincerely,

Kica Matos
President
National Immigration Law Center
