Immigrants are an essential part of our national fabric, bringing energy and skills that benefit all Americans. Yet immigrant communities are continuously demonized by politicians and the press, harming their ability to find acceptance and thrive. But as Americans, we all have the power to create change — by taking steps to ensure our own communities are welcoming and inclusive. Whether you introduce yourself to new neighbors, work with your local library on a list of books about belonging, or help build diversity in your school’s PTA, there are small actions each of us can take to build welcoming communities across our country. Join the American Immigration Council today — pledge to build a welcoming community and we will send you a toolkit of actions to take in your community >>
