May Social Media Toolkit: Equal Rights
For the month of May, we are focusing on the theme of “Equal Rights” and highlighting that naturalized citizens have all the same rights and liberties as individuals born in the U.S. We’ve also drafted content that connects to the many holidays and big New Americans Campaign events coming up next month.
Below are draft tweets and Facebook posts you can tweak and post on your social media accounts. You can find images of diverse individuals that you can post on your accounts embedded below. The image size is optimized for Facebook and Twitter which is why they appear so large below. Just right click on the image to save it. We also welcome your translations into other languages and can update these images as you share them with us.
Other content in this toolkit includes:
- New Americans Annual Conference posts
- Mother’s Day posts
- Memorial Day posts
- Miami Mega-Workshop posts
