Wednesday, June 20 is World Refugee Day, the time of year when we honor the courage and resilience of refugees--recognizing the hardships they have faced, the new lives they have created, and the positive impact they have on our communities. Historically, the United States has been a leader in protecting and resettling refugees. However, with global need at its highest, our U.S. refugee resettlement program is being systematically dismantled. As refugees and friends of refugees, we know the challenges newcomers face are greater than ever, and we must rally in support of our shared values of welcome and our nation's commitment to protect those seeking freedom, safety and refugee in the United States. Please join We Are All America and our partners across the country in taking action. Click here to find out how!
