ST. LOUIS (June 30, 2016) - Today, St. Louis and more than 50 other U.S. cities and counties were honored at the White House for their innovative and proactive efforts to bring all residents into their community fabric. These communities understand that creating a welcoming environment where all can thrive is a necessity now for their survival, prosperity, and global competitive edge, and they are leading the way for the nation in immigrant integration.
These communities are part of the Building Welcoming Communities Campaign, a partnership of The White House Task Force on New Americans, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, and Welcoming America, a national nonprofit organization with expertise in welcoming efforts, to encourage communities to engage in local immigrant integration efforts.
