In celebration of Immigrant Heritage month in June, stars come together to celebrate America's international roots.

Saturday Night Live alum Jason Sudeikis appears in the 2017 Immigration Heritage Month launch video.

A load of stars have once again come together to help launch Immigrant Heritage Month, the annual celebration of America's international roots that takes place in June.

"Saturday Night Live" alum Jason Sudeikis, "Superstore" star America Ferrera, "Broad City's" Ilana Glazer, Emmy-winning "Orange Is the New Black" actress Uzo Aduba, and "Star Trek" icon George Takei are among the many celebrities appearing in a new video for Immigrant Heritage Month.

This year, it has extended its "I am an immigrant" campaign with "I stand with immigrants" — both of which are emblazoned on the shirts worn by the celebrities in the video. The new campaign aims to encourage Americans to take action in support of immigrant rights and to form coalitions with others.

In the video directed by Colombian actress and director Paola Mendoza, the stars recite a poem written by Lemon Anderson.
