Colorado Springs, CO — October 28, 2025 — The Immigration Civic Advocacy Network (ICAN) joins communities across the United States in recognizing National Immigrants Day, observed each year on October 28, a date connected to our nation’s welcome symbols and the long tradition of newcomers seeking freedom, safety, and opportunity.
“Immigrants have always been builders of the American story. Innovators, parents, small-business owners, farmworkers, scientists, caregivers, artists, and neighbors all created the great tapestry of America,” said Quentin Choy, Founder & Executive Director of ICAN. “Today we honor their courage and resilience, and we recommit to ensuring they have a dignified, trauma-informed path to full civic participation.”
What makes immigrants worth celebrating
- Courage & perseverance: choosing hope in the face of risk to build a new life.
- Community strength: revitalizing neighborhoods, faith communities, schools, and local economies.
- Cultural richness: languages, food, music, art, and traditions that deepen America’s shared identity.
- Civic promise: aspiring citizens who strengthen democracy through service, voting, and leadership.
ICAN delivers fully virtual, six-week citizenship-prep cohorts that are trauma-informed and culturally aware, updated for the harder 2025 USCIS civics test, and designed to protect students’ time, dignity, and safety. We partner with faith organizations, libraries, schools, cultural groups, and immigrant-service providers so communities can expand services without hiring staff or buying materials, all with clear, grant-reportable impact.
