The Book

Together We Rise focuses on the contributions immigrants make to our society. It includes immigrants of all skills, from those doing manual labor to those highly skilled in medicine, law, and hi-tech. It is divided into six major sections, starting with how immigrants contribute to growing, distributing and creating the food that we eat. It is followed by immigrants who provide our healthcare. The following section includes entrepreneurs, essential workers and small business owners that contribute to growing our economy. There is a section on immigrants who are educators and also one that focuses on justice, including lawyers and judges as well as immigrants who are in the process or have received asylum. Lastly, we focus on our future, which includes many DACA recipients studying law, medicine and engineering.
