Today is International Migrants Day!

In recognition of the 232 million people living outside of their country of birth, today is International Migrants Day! The UN is utilizing the hashtag #IAmAMigrant to share the personal stories of migrants, even UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon. They have a Storify page you can also use to track the progress of the hashtag today. You can download some nice posters, such as the one below, from the UN website here.
