Throughout the pandemic, immigrants across the country stood alongside
other Americans to keep our essential industries running. Yet even now
with the worst of the pandemic behind us, immigrant contributions remain
essential not only to our continued recovery but also to our future
prosperity.

**Join us in giving thanks to immigrant essential workers.**

 

THANK OUR ESSENTIAL IMMIGRANTS

What does essential really mean?

Hear directly from business leaders and an immigrant frontline worker in

"We were in a very scary place"

Want to hear more stories from the front line? In a recent episode of
our **Only in America** podcast, Ali
speaks with immigrant business owners and workers essential to the
COVID-19 response. **Listen now!**

And, meet Ciomara
,
one of our English at Work program participants who worked on the
frontlines during the pandemic all the while determined to improve her
English!

 

Despite immigrants' vital contributions and critical role in our
nation's future, anti-immigrant rhetoric and policies continue to
drive many of our immigrant neighbors into the shadows. It's time to
make sure our foreign-born population knows we welcome them in our
communities. Send a clear message that immigrants belong here!

 

THANK OUR ESSENTIAL IMMIGRANTS
