As the Fourth of July passes, we reflect not just on our country’s founding ideals, but on how we live up to them today.
In our new op-ed for Salon, Héctor Sánchez Barba, President and CEO of Mi Familia Vota and I call for a bold and honest reckoning with the right’s anti-immigrant narrative and a recommitment to the truth, values, and contributions that immigrants make every day:
“Immigrants are building America every day. They fuel our economy, care for our families, and enrich our culture… They’re essential to America’s future prosperity.”
We invite you to read the full piece and help us share the truth that immigrants are—and always have been—central to the American story.
