A day to honor and celebrate the contributions of migrants around the world who bring diversity, resilience, and strength to our communities.

Immigration is a story of hope, courage, and the pursuit of a better future for families, and it’s a reminder that we are all interconnected in this global journey.

Let’s continue to stand together in support of inclusivity, empathy, and respect for all people, no matter where they come from.

Today, we celebrate Thanksgiving—a time to gather, reflect, and express gratitude for the blessings in our lives. But it's also important to recognize that for many, today is not a day of celebration. It can be a reminder of loss, pain, or historical injustices.

For Indigenous communities, Thanksgiving is a reminder of the violence and displacement that accompanied colonization. For others, it can be a difficult day due to grief, family struggles, or simply feeling disconnected.

We are deeply grateful to the talented Micronesian performers who graced our stage with their incredible artistry, culture, and energy.
