WIN's Annual Event: Celebrating Our Immigrant Stories
Title: Celebrating Our Immigrant Stories
June is Immigrant Heritage Month, a time to celebrate diversity and immigrants' heritage. In recognition of Immigrant Heritage Month, Washington Immigrant Network is hosting a virtual celebration highlighting the stories of our immigrant state employees, allies, and community partners. While some of these stories may share sadness, suffering, fear, and frustration, they will also provide insight into the bravery, ingenuity, caring, and love of immigrants and people who have been displaced from their countries. This celebration will also include fun activities and networking opportunities.
