  • Nantucket, MA

    Nantucket is an island that connects with the world. From the time of the whalers, Nantucketers have gone out to other places and returned home changed by their experiences. Now the world is coming to us, to work, to study and to live. I pledge to work with others to make Nantucket a well-integrated and welcoming place for the immigrants who come here.

As Americans, we recognize that that all people are created equal and endowed with certain inalienable rights, no matter where they were born.  We uphold the human dignity and innate value of all, immigrants and non-immigrants alike.  We stand for the highest values and ideals upon which our country was founded.
