Immigrant Communities: Making California Strong



growing budget deficit, immigrants are an economic engine of our state helping to make

California the sixth largest economy in the world. Immigrants work in all sectors of our

economy from manufacturing to healthcare and pay billions of dollars in local, state, and

federal taxes. California’s future is tied to the success of immigrants and their families.

By attending Immigrant Day, you help to bring a unified voice to Sacramento in support of

California’s diverse immigrant communities. As immigrant advocates, we support many

proposals that seek to improve the lives of immigrants. We also need to make our voices

heard on harmful proposals that can reduce services to our children, the elderly or

immigrants in our state, recognize the contributions immigrants make to California

and make our voices heard!
