NEW YORK — Lin-Manuel Miranda plans to use the 10th anniversary Broadway performance of his award-winning cultural phenomenon “Hamilton” as a fundraiser for a coalition of nonprofits providing immigration services.

Aug. 6 performance of “Hamilton” at Broadway’s Richard Rodgers Theatre is expected to raise about $3 million for the Immigrants: We Get the Job Done Coalition, 14 nonprofits ranging from the Hispanic Federation and National Immigration Law Center to the Haitian Bridge Alliance and the Tahirih Justice Center. The donation will come from Miranda, the Miranda Family and Miranda Family Fund, and the “Hamilton” cast.

“One of America’s greatest exports -- at least for me growing up -- was the immigration narrative,” Miranda said. “So many people I know… came to this country from somewhere else seeking a better life and then helped make this country better by being here. And I believe that’s one of the greatest promises, one of greatest things about the American experiment, and I’ll continue to fight for that and support organizations that are helping that cause.”

Well said.

TY, Sheltie, this is wonderful to hear.
