Dear Caribbean Nationals, Descendants and Friends of the Caribbean:

Greetings and Salutations! How are you doing today? Great I hope! I am John
McKenzie, organizer for the Caribbean-American Chamber of Commerce for the
Greater Washington Area. I am inviting you to support the declaration of
June as the official Caribbean-American Heritage Month for the United
States of America.

FACT: June is Caribbean-American Heritage Month for Washington, DC.
FACT: There is a bill in Congress, H. Res. 570, to officially make June
Caribbean-American Heritage Month for the entire USA.
FACT: Your email, letter and/or phone call will help to get H. Res. 570
passed.

Please support H. Res. 570 to get June declared National Caribbean-American
Heritage Month. Now, all you need to do is to send the sample letter below
to your representatives in the House and Senate via their online forms. The
links for these online forms are below. You can cut and paste the sample

Later, we will move to a postal letter-writing campaign and then a phone-in

touch. I personally want to thank you for your support – Thank You and Walk
Good.
