Dear John,

The U.S. has a proud––and complicated––history as a nation of immigrants, and Thanksgiving Day reflects both that pride and complexity.

For many, this holiday brings connection. But for countless families, it also brings pain, marked by separation, silence, and the absence of those torn away by a broken immigration system.

Your continued support is helping to mend what’s been broken: reuniting families, restoring dignity, and replacing fear with the promise of belonging. For that, we are deeply grateful.

We hope you’ll forward this message to a friend you’re grateful for and invite them to join our shared vision of an America where everyone belongs.

With deep gratitude,

The American Immigration Council Team

P.S. As families gather around the dinner table during the holidays, political debates are bound to come up—with immigration being no exception.
We created a guide to help counter the misinformation and keep the conversation productive.
