Washington’s Prosperity Campaign
A narrative-shift campaign rooted in Washington, DC’s core value of shared prosperity. Led by the Nigerian Center, the campaign uplifts the stories of immigrants as business owners, civic leaders, and community builders. It counters anti-immigrant rhetoric and fear driven by federal mass deportation policies. Featuring five Nigerian American entrepreneurs, the campaign reaffirms the vital role immigrants play in shaping the Washington, DC metro area as engines of progress and prosperity.
