"Let Me Tell You My Story" - Book of Refugee Stories, Available Soon
Have you heard the exciting news? Many of the stories of our displaced friends have been compiled into a book and will be coming out this Fall.
You can pre-order now on Amazon!
Our hope is to spread these stories to the four corners of the earth, for their voices to be heard, for walls to come crumbling down, for good things to come to the millions who need a safe place to call home.
Many of our friends featured in this book are currently still in the middle of unsettled circumstances and still in desperate need of help. We hope that this book makes a difference for them. We are honored that they have shared their stories with us and are committed to sharing them tirelessly to all who will listen and hear.
“. . .the people inside this remarkable volume of exquisite photography and stories of resilience will teach you that the surest way to draw humans together begins with the words “I want to tell you my story . . .”
Many thanks to our publisher, @familiustalk, for supporting and catching the vision of the importance of spreading the stories of our courageous friends.
Official Statement on the Detention of Refugees and Ongoing Community Violence
With another death in Minnesota and continued violence toward individuals and groups standing up for their communities, we acknowledge the profound fear and uncertainty people are feeling--not just locally, but across the country.
On top of this, there are reports that refugees invited and admitted to our country through the U.S. Refugee Admission Program are now being detained, meaning that our new friends and neighbors feel that fear most acutely.
Refugees have already fled violence and persecution once. They came here legally, seeking safety. In moments like these, we reaffirm our commitment to building communities where refugees and immigrants can live without fear. Where they can go to work, send their children to school, and build lives of dignity and belonging.
We call for due process, accountability, and humanity in all immigration enforcement operations. We call upon our leaders to demand the demilitarization of our neighborhoods and cities. And we call on all of us to continue the work of welcoming and protecting those who have been forcibly displaced from their homes.
