ADL event March 2018

03.14.18

The Anti-Defamation League celebrated its 10^th annual “A Nation of Immigrants” Community Seder on March 5, 2017 at the UMASS Boston Campus. Agencia ALPHA was invited to be a part of this amazing event and what a privilege to be able to share with guests and volunteers about our own campaign “Immigrants Make America Strong”. Click to see and hear from dozens of immigrants and native-born individuals who shared powerful declarations about immigrants’ contributions to this nation. We were honored to have been visited by the Mayor of Cambridge, Marc C. McGovern and State Representative Juana Matias. Check out their videos! We are thankful to all who took the video challenge and participated in this effort.

A special shoutout to the Massachusetts Chapter of the Anti-Defamation League for a wonderful event and for allowing us to be part of this amazing experience!
