Throughout history, immigrants have played a crucial role in determining the growth,

traditions, and perspectives.
Immigrant Heritage Month is a time to honor the invaluable contributions made by
immigrants to our community, enriching our cultural fabric, strengthening our
economy, and enhancing our social diversity.
We should use Immigrant Heritage Month as an opportunity to advocate for fair and
just immigration policies, ensuring that newcomers to our city are welcomed,
supported, and provided with the resources necessary for their successful integration
into our community.
The City of Columbia Heights embraces the diversity of cultures, languages, and
traditions that enrich our neighborhoods and foster mutual respect and understanding.
The City of Columbia Heights recognizes the significance of welcoming and aiding
immigrants, fostering an inclusive atmosphere that values diversity and upholds the
ideals of justice and equality.
Immigrant Heritage Month provides an opportunity to promote cross-cultural
understanding, bridge divides, and strengthen the bonds that unite our community,
regardless of background or country of origin.
NOW, THEREFORE, be it resolved that I, Amdda Marquez Simula, Mayor of Columbia
Heights, do hereby proclaim June 2025 to be Immigrant Heritage Month in the City of
