According to Fox News, White House Associate Director of Public Engagement Jesse Moore sent an email to a number of unidentified Hollywood A-listers and executives last week with a list of short, social media-ready talking points that the Obama administration hopes the celebrities will post for their millions of followers on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.

Celebrities were reportedly encouraged to use the following messages on social media along with the hashtags #ImmigrantHeritageMonth and #IAmAnImmigrant, according to Fox:

• June is Immigrant Heritage Month and I stand with immigrants. Share this video to celebrate the monumental contributions immigrants have made — and continue to make every day!
• #IAmAnImmigrant honors each of our families’ sacrifices, struggles and successes – America’s strength is reflected in our diversity built over generations.
• Now, more than ever, it’s important we stay united. I’m proud to be part of the #IAmAnImmigrant movement.
• We’re so excited to join the “IAmAnImmigrant movement.

“We are a nation of immigrants, and whether you are an immigrant, the child or grandchild of immigrants, or you stand with immigrants — it’s on all of us to ensure that we continue to recognize the role immigrants continue to play at the core of this country,” the email to Hollywood influencers read.

The email also contained a video released by nonprofit organization Welcome.Us earlier this month, in which stars including Kerry Washington, Rosie Perez and George Lopez talked about the importance of immigration and urged other activists and celebrities to join the #IAmAnImmigrant campaign.
