Hi Friend,

The FWD.us team has been so proud to be a part of a coalition of organizations and advocates celebrating Immigrant Heritage Month. We wanted to pass along a special message from Jen Martin, our I Stand with Immigrants initiative director, that recaps the celebration!

All month long, you and countless other advocates across the country helped uplift the stories of millions of immigrants and build a greater community for the work that lays ahead.

Take a moment to read Jen’s note below, and then share our social media post to let your networks know you’re celebrating immigrants year-round!

We stand with immigrants today and every day,
FWD.us Team

Friend,

Immigrant Heritage Month is officially a wrap. Despite June being a difficult month for so many of us, it was so exciting to see folks from every corner of the country celebrating so many people’s diverse immigrant heritage.

Together, we shared video stories from immigrants and allies, broke bread at food truck events from coast to coast, shared our music and arts, and even participated in partnerships with Netflix and Apple TV+ to bring immigrant stories directly to our living rooms. A number of special guests joined us, including chefs Joanne Chang, Tom Colicchio, Christine Hà, Bryon Gomez, and Hawa Hassan.

Thank you for joining us in celebration. Now let’s take a moment to acknowledge that we’re going to celebrate immigrant heritage year-round – click here to share our social media post recapping our amazing month.


The stories and experiences we shared this past month not only uplift immigrant voices, but also build a stronger connection between communities. That is what Immigrant Heritage Month is all about.

Thank you for celebrating immigrant heritage with us today and every day,

Jen Martin
Director, I Stand With Immigrants Initiative
