On #InternationalMigrantsDay, we honor migrants in Washington and worldwide. They enrich culture, drive innovation, lead critical roles, support families, & help societies thrive. Let's ensure migration isn't criminalized and continue to voice that freedom of movement is a fundamental human right.

1/3 September is #NationalPreparednessMonth. For many immigrant and mixed-status families, preparedness goes beyond storms and wildfires. It also means confronting barriers like language access gaps, exclusion from aid, deportation, and the threat of family separation.
