You're Welcome! is a national campaign in development that engages young people to celebrate the fusion of cultures and build more welcoming communities. Organized by Welcoming America, a national grassroots collaborative, the campaign is using comedy, music, dance parties and other creative approaches to fuel a cultural shift in the U.S. in support of immigrants and their contributions to the country.
