Share your Family's Immigrant Story this holiday season with the American Immigration Lawyer's #MyImmigrantHistory Campaign
The American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) is engaging in a #MyImmigrantHistory storytelling campaign to share how immigrants have contributed to our country and to the success of future generations. Sharing these stories will challenge the rationale of the public charge rule with the stories of real people. Here is how you can join the campaign:
1. Share your own family's immigration story on social media with the hashtag, #MyImmigrantHistory. How and why did your ancestors come the United States? What sacrifices did they have to make? How did they contribute to our country? Don't forget to tag @AILANational if you share on Twitter, so we can retweet you!
2. Encourage your friends and family to participate in the campaign.
3. Submit your story on your immigration roots to AILA (please keep to 250 words or less). You can visit the #MyImmigrantHistory story page for examples.
Note that these stories, summarized or whole, may be shared on AILA's social media channels and incorporated into content AILA develops, such as videos and blog posts.
