2015 has seen the worst refugee crisis since World War II, with over 19.5 million refugees across the globe. Amnesty is calling for a dramatic shift in the way the international community deals with the global refugee crisis from 2016.
Yet, instead of arms being opened to refugees desperately seeking shelter, we have seen an increase in anti-refugee rhetoric in the United States coupled with Islamophobia. This hate and fear-mongering has no place in our country—we must stand up against such fear and hate and speak out for human rights!
In our webinar, we will outline the global refugee crisis and what you can do to call for changes—both at the national and local level. You can make a real and direct difference in the lives of refugees.
Join us and learn how you can ensure that our country is one is which human rights are upheld and refugees are welcome.
Sincerely,
