Movement for Black Lives & Social Justice

Refugee Congress stands together with communities around the world to call for equity, social justice and respect for human rights.

As former refugees and asylum-seekers, we are survivors of war and genocide, and we know the devastating impacts of injustice and hate. We call on everyone to stand against injustice. Our advocacy to ensure the wellbeing and dignity of refugees, asylees and other vulnerable migrants connects us with larger social movements to bring about positive change long overdue. We must find a path out of the structural racism and violence endemic in our institutions and build a more just future for ourselves and our children.
