Between Tuesday’s State of the Union address, yesterday’s Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on Comprehensive Immigration Reform, and the larger debates around citizenship and enforcement, there’s been a lot of dialogue -– both positive and problematic – around the role of immigrants in this country. This Valentine’s Day, 18MillionRising.org wants to show love and gratitude for the many contributions immigrants -– especially our Asian American Pacific Islander family members, community leaders, and workers –- have made to the very fabric of America. Folks like Hawai’i Senator Mazie Hirono; journalist and activist Jose Antonio Vargas; and neonatal ICU nurse and Superstorm Sandy hero Menchu DeLuna Sanchez.Want to join 18MR in sharing stories and showing love for our AAPI brothers and sisters?
