Butterfly symbol

Our Butterfly Symbol

The monarch butterfly migrates freely between countries regardless of politics. We use it in our logo to indicate our commitment to the right of all people to migrate freely without regard to their country of origin, immigration status, or political views. Like the butterfly's journey of transformation, immigration is a profound life change that requires courage, resilience, and the support of a welcoming community. We stand with our immigrant neighbors through every stage of their journey.
