Building on our desire to learn from and about our community members, and incorporating our belief that diversity is more than skin deep; our goal for the picnic is to bring together immigrants, refugees and U.S.-born residents in a spirit of unity to build strong connections across the community and affirm the benefits of welcoming everyone – including new Americans.

We strive to create inclusive and diverse audiences to increase support for female empowerment and generate larger movements for social change. In addition, we have affirmed the great value of intergenerational spaces where we believe that the knowledge, experiences and reflections of all generations are valuable and these connections can make this event more meaningful, creative and relevant.
