Ask your elected officials to request taxpayer supported organizations or institutions, such as the public library systems, public television and public radio stations, recreation departments etc., to commemorate June as "Caribbean-American Heritage Month".
It will be highly advantageous to the success of your actions if you stress the idea of June as "Caribbean American Heritage Month" as an extremely important part of celebrating America's history and your community's diversity. Diplomacy, persistence and patience will be needed in order to achieve success.
Community Outreach
When telling anyone about this recognition and asking them to join you to celebrate June as "Caribbean-American Heritage Month", give them a copy of the Bill posted on our website. This will provide the foundation upon which they can act.
Contact each and every Caribbean community organization, club, group, carnival committee, church in your city and ask them to celebrate "Caribbean American Heritage Month" with displays and events as well as to join in organizing collaborative activities. Ask them all to let their membership know June is designated as "Caribbean-American Heritage Month". Grassroots connections are one of the best ways of ?getting the word out'
