September 17th marks Citizenship Day and Constitution Day! The combined observation of Constitution Day and Citizenship Day commemorates the signing of the Constitution by our nation’s founders in 1787 and celebrates what it means to be a U.S. citizen. In particular, Citizenship Day recognizes the new Americans who completed their paths to citizenship this year, allowing them to play a more active role in our democracy! 

Our national network of trusted partner organizations has proudly assisted over 650,000 citizenship applicants since 2011, saving immigrant communities more than $723 million. Together, we are building a stronger path to naturalization.

Citizenship Day is our day! We are celebrating the week leading up to Citizenship Day (Citizenship Week) by celebrating new citizens, highlighting the benefits of U.S. citizenship, sharing tools for aspiring and new citizens, and thanking our New Americans Campaign partners.

Please join us in celebrating citizenship by posting messages on social media celebrating new Americans during the week leading up to Citizenship Day! This toolkit includes graphics for social media, sample messaging, and hashtags. You can also view the toolkit in a Google doc here

Thank you for all your work supporting aspiring citizens in the United States!
