5:30 pm Reception | 6:30 Program
The Westin, Seattle

With OneAmerica leading the way, people like us have created a movement to claim and embrace our power – in our local communities, leading our organizations and businesses, and in our government. When people like us stand together, we build power. That means people power, power in our ideas for a better world, and the power of organized resources. That’s what the OneAmerica family of organizations is all about, and that’s what our OneAmerica community joyously works for. Join us for a night to celebrate people like us, all we’ve accomplished, and everything we will accomplish together.

For almost two decades, we have worked to ensure that immigrants and refugees have a seat at the table – or a microphone at a rally in the street – to help shape the policies that impact our communities. And on Friday, April 5th, our communities will take the stage to describe the power and triumph of their struggle.

Last year, OneAmerica welcomed Representative Pramila Jayapal, a powerful champion of immigrant and refugee communities who, since founding OneAmerica in 2001 and before, has shone as a tenacious defender of the rights of all communities.

We also heard performances from Diana Gameros and Meklit Hadero, two immigrant women who have translated their American experience into powerful sounds.
