These are frightening and stressful times. So today, we wanted to share something a little different — something to remind us all that we are not alone, and that we are deeply valued.
Last year at Immigrants’ Day at the State House, visitors stopped by our letter-writing station to pen messages of love and support to immigrants in Massachusetts. The letters they wrote were beautiful, heartfelt, and powerful. In honor of Valentine’s Day, MIRA staff members read 14 of those letters aloud — one for each day preceding February’s most loving holiday.
We hope these messages bring you a moment of warmth. Press play, turn up the volume, and let these words wrap around you.
And as a bonus, hear directly from Massachusetts legislators who want you to know: they stand with you.
Love isn’t just a feeling — it’s an action.
Happy Valentine’s Day. 💌
