A More Perfect Union — Building Welcoming Communities Campaign to Strengthen Immigration Integration

Today, the White House Task Force on New Americans launches the “Stand Stronger” Citizenship Awareness Campaign. The goal of the Campaign is to raise awareness about the rights, responsibilities, and importance of U.S. citizenship and to provide more information on the naturalization process, along with new tools and resources to prepare for it. The Task Force believes that local communities play a critical role in creating welcoming environments and advancing immigrant integration efforts.

That’s why the Task Force is calling on all local communities — big cities and small towns — to join the Building Welcoming Communities Campaign and commit to making their hometowns a place that welcomes all residents can thrive. Created as part of the President’s immigration executive actions, the Task Force is charged with strengthening the Federal government’s immigrant and refugee integration efforts. The Task Force has reached out to communities around the country to learn about what they are doing to advance immigrant integration efforts. We were inspired by all the great work taking place and hope to encourage even more communities to become welcoming communities.
