Today, Valentine’s Day, the I Stand With Immigrants initiative celebrates To Immigrants With Love (TIWL), an annual effort around Valentine’s Day to share messages of love and support for immigrants from people across the country – including artists, activists, and public figures.
The #ToImmigrantsWithLove campaign honors each of our families’ sacrifices, struggles, and successes, because America’s strength is reflected in our diversity built over generations. The campaign includes both online and in-person art and letter-writing components to show positivity and support for all immigrants across the United States.
A number of artists, activists, and public figures are all lending their voices to the campaign, including Aimee Carrero, Alyssa Milano, Bambadjan Bamba, Cara Santana, Carolina Sandoval, Debra Messing, Emily Tosta, Estelle, Hailey Sani, Hari Kondabolu, J.R Martinez, Jenna Ushkowitz, Julissa Calderon, Karan Brar, Marlene Favela, Paola Mendoza, Phillipa Soo, Piper Perabo, Reshma Saujani, and Tatyana Ali.
#ToImmigrantsWithLove is an opportunity for immigrants and allies to lift up positive stories of immigration in America, and highlight the importance of immigrants and their countless contributions to the fabric of our nation. The campaign encourages immigrants and everyone who loves them to add their voices to acknowledge publicly that they are standing with immigrants, no matter what.
