About the Summit
The summit will honor immigrants for their pivotal role in driving economic growth and shaping the cultural, economic, and social fabric of our nation through their invaluable contributions. It will also emphasize the importance of creating pathways for immigrants to thrive. When immigrants are able to access education, employment, and social services, they contribute their skills and creativity to our collective success. California stands as a beacon of progress, where historic victories have expanded immigrant rights and opportunities, setting a blueprint for the rest of the nation to follow.
