June is Immigrant Heritage Month in the United States – a time to celebrate the monumental contributions immigrants have made (and still making) for that great nation on an every day basis.

This Immigrant Heritage Month, celebrate America’s diversity.

America’s diversity–fueled in great part by immigrants–makes it stronger and more connected as a nation.

Since June of 2014, Immigrant Heritage Month has given people across the United States an opportunity to explore their own heritage and celebrate the shared diversity that forms the unique story of America. This belief fueled the wildly successful 2016 launch of the ‘I Am An Immigrant’ campaign, which encourages all Americans to celebrate the monumental contributions of immigrants.

Washington, DC – June is Immigrant Heritage Month, and “I Am An Immigrant” is hosting pop-up experiences and a series of events around the U.S to celebrate and lift up the critical contributions of immigrants in our communities.
