The American Immigration Council works to strengthen America by shaping how America thinks about and acts towards immigrants and immigration and by working toward a more fair and just immigration system that opens its doors to those in need of protection and unleashes the energy and skills that immigrants bring.

"Celebrate the impact of immigrant writers and their work! June is Immigrant Heritage Month and we have a number of resources available to help you discover, celebrate, and honor the vast contributions of immigrant and refugee writers in the United States, both past and present."

"The I Stand With Immigrants Initiative, powered by FWD.us, leads narrative campaigns that empower immigrants and their allies to share stories and drive action that demonstrate immigration is good for our communities, economy, and country. We do this with the goal of encouraging everyone to explore their individual heritage and celebrate both our distinct and shared experiences."

Our Mission: To document, narrate and curate stories about immigrants in order to promote empathy and advance an inclusive community.

"Immigration Impact is the only news site exclusively committed to covering immigration issues. It was launched in 2008 to help shape and develop a rational conversation on immigration that shifts the terms of the debate towards achieving workable and effective comprehensive policy reform.
Immigration Impact is a project of the American Immigration Council."

"During June the United States celebrates Immigrant Heritage Month, paying tribute to the diverse immigrant groups that enrich our nation’s history and culture. The National Endowment for the Humanities is proud to have funded numerous projects that preserve and document a wide array of immigrant experiences and showcase the contributions immigrants have made to American life."

Immigrant Stories is a research and archiving project run by the Immigration History Research Center (IHRC) at the University of Minnesota. Immigrant Stories helps immigrants, refugees, and their family members create digital stories: brief videos with images, text, and audio about a personal experience.

The IHRC has supported teaching and research about immigration since 1965. Our partner, the IHRC Archives, is North America's largest archive of immigrant life. The IHRC Archives will professionally preserve all Immigrant Stories, ensuring that students, researchers, and the public will be able to watch these videos decades from now.
