Honoring immigrant workers and kicking off
Citizenship Month 2025

This week, as the nation honors workers, NPNA is thinking especially about immigrant workers and their value beyond their labor. We recognize them, honor their sacrifices, and continue to stand in solidarity as our communities stand strong to build an inclusive and representative democracy.
