Dear Friend,

Thanksgiving is a special holiday for me. It's the one time of the year where my family from California and my family in Arizona get together. My parents, my siblings, their spouses and children, my husband and kids—we are all under the same roof. What ensues is beautiful chaos.

As we gather with our loved ones, friends, and communities this holiday season, I am thinking of the families I met in Reynosa, Mexico earlier this month and the thousands of families who are separated or in harm's way because of exclusionary immigration policies. Families belong together and I know we—Young Center staff, volunteers, supporters, ambassadors, donors—will continue to advocate and fight until immigrant and refugee families can be together and protected. 

Thank you so much for being part of this fight. I am deeply grateful for our togetherness.
