Celebrate Immigrants on the Fourth of July
From Global Citizen:
Immigrants fought a war 242 years ago to establish the United States of America. Since then, millions more have come to the US from around the world to seek opportunity and a better life.
Throughout US history, however, groups of immigrants and recent arrivals have been variously demonized and marginalized. And these traditions continue today.
In honor of July Fourth, here are seven ways to help immigrants this Independence Day.
1. Support Immigrant Rights Groups
2. Learn About the History of Immigration in the US
3. Debunk Myths
4. Protest
5. Support Pro-Immigrant Policies
6. Volunteer
7. Read Books by Immigrant Authors
