September 13 — A Day of Unity

A peaceful national call to recognize the dignity, labor, service, and lasting contributions immigrants make to the United States every day.

Participation is voluntary. Individuals should consider their workplace responsibilities, employment policies, and personal circumstances before taking part.

Our presence has value. Our work has impact.

The United States has been strengthened by generations of people who arrived from different countries, worked hard, served their communities, raised families, and helped build the future.

THE REASON BEHIND THE DAY

Immigrants help keep hospitals operating, businesses growing, homes and cities being built, families supported, food produced, and communities moving forward. September 13 is an opportunity to pause peacefully and make that contribution visible.

A Nation Shaped by Many People
A Peaceful Message to Leaders

This movement asks government leaders, employers, and communities to recognize how deeply immigrant workers, professionals, entrepreneurs, and families contribute to American life.

Respect Across Every Profession

From doctors and nurses to construction workers, farmworkers, caregivers, teachers, business owners, hospitality workers, janitors, and students, every honest contribution deserves dignity.

Unity, Not Division

StandTogether913 is not a call for violence or hostility. It is a peaceful statement that America is strongest when people are treated fairly and communities stand together as one.
