What is Welcoming Week?
During this annual series of events, communities bring together immigrants, refugees, and native-born residents to raise awareness of the benefits of welcoming everyone. In 2017, there were more than 700 events around the country.
Show the World You Welcome
Now more than ever, we need to stand up for immigrants and refugees. Show the world that you welcome by joining the Welcomer campaign.
