Help Us Build a More Welcoming Community

Welcoming is more than a gesture—it’s a commitment to equity, inclusion, and belonging. It means making sure that every decision we make, every service we provide, and every policy we implement reflects the voices and needs of those who’ve too often been left out.

As the daughter of immigrants, I saw firsthand how hard it was for my parents to navigate unfamiliar systems—often without culturally competent support or a sense of belonging. That experience shaped my belief that no one should have to walk that path alone.

That’s why I support the welcoming movement—because it transforms systems and communities. It ensures that everyone, regardless of background, feels seen, supported, and celebrated.

But we can’t do this work alone.

Now is the time to act.

The challenges we face—economic inequality, migration, racial injustice—require solutions rooted in inclusion and compassion. Together, we can choose a future defined not by fear and division, but by shared strength and belonging.
