“We’ve been deeply inspired by the desire of Americans – from every corner and every sector of the country – to help. Through these acts of welcome, Americans have been finding themselves, finding each other, and finding again the country and community they believe in – a nation that welcomes, that provides safety and refuge, that helps strivers – as all newcomers are – become new Americans.”
