Today, Mr. Trump, as you commit to serving as President of the United States of America, we at Erie Neighborhood House choose to reaffirm our own commitment to our mission of working toward a just, inclusive society.<\/p>\n

We have discovered over the course of our 147-year history that by welcoming immigrants into our neighborhoods, supporting families in need, and providing a better future for generations of children and youth, we are building stronger, more vibrant communities across the city of Chicago.<\/p>\n

Mr. Trump, it is our hope that as president you will see that same is true for our great nation: A just, inclusive America is in fact a stronger America.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

When the contributions of immigrants are valued and families remain united, we are stronger.<\/p>\n

When all students have equal opportunities to succeed in school and in life, we are stronger.<\/p>\n

When families find access to quality, affordable early childhood education, we are stronger.<\/p>\n

When opposing viewpoints of political discourse are respected and heard, we are stronger.<\/p>\n

When refugees are treated with dignity and respect, we are stronger.<\/p>\n

When women\u2019s rights are indeed human rights, we are stronger.<\/p>\n

When access to healthcare is a right for all and not just a privilege for the few, we are stronger.<\/p>\n

When people living on the margins encounter opportunity rather than oppression, we are stronger.<\/p>\n

When our diversity as a people of every race, culture and religion is celebrated, we are stronger.<\/p>\n

On this day, like every other day for the past 147 years, we will continue on our journey toward a just, inclusive society. We invite you, Mr. Trump, to walk alongside us in this endeavor.<\/p>\n
