Dear John,
[link removed]
Recent events have brought the topic of immigration back into the
headlines –– the upcoming 11th anniversary of DACA
[link removed]
, changing rules at the federal level that will impact future asylum
seekers
[link removed]
, and widespread reports of child labor
[link removed]
affecting migrant children.
For three years, since launching in June 2020, Race Forward's Butterfly
Lab for Immigrant Narrative Strategy
[link removed]
has worked with thousands of leaders and practitioners, trained movement
organizations, supported narrative projects, and shared game-changing
frameworks and tools
[link removed]
to advance pro-immigrant narratives that recognize and honor the
humanity of our immigrant communities.
During this time, thousands of narrative leaders and practitioners
joined the public webinars, downloaded the reports, and rallied their
organizations to integrate and align narrative strategy and build
narrative capacity.
Though the Butterfly Lab has come to a close, we invite you to be a part
of the continuing movement for immigrant rights and make use of the
resources the Butterfly Lab team developed through the three years of
the program.
The resources include:
Phase 1 and Phase 2 Reports, Toolkit, and Research Findings
[link removed]
Narrative Strategy Tools and Resources

Watch the replay of "A Future for All of Us: Part 2 The Butterfly Lab
for Immigrant Narrative Strategy
[link removed]
"
The original mission and vision of the Butterfly Lab was to advance
pro-immigrant narratives, compel action to confront attacks on migrants,
refugees, and immigrants, support humane and transformative action, and
join together in building enduring pro-immigrant policies. Race Forward
is proud to have supported the Butterfly Lab team, and its supporters
and allies in advancing this important work.

Plans

Last month, President Biden announced his second historic Executive
Order 14091, Further Advancing Racial Equity and Support for Underserved
Communities Through The Federal Government

The release of this report is another important step
[link removed]
in advancing equity at the federal level. As President Biden mentioned
in announcing the executive order, America cannot achieve its greatest
potential until it is a society where all of us have the opportunity to
thrive and prosper.

artistic sincerity on a deeper level."
