I welcome refugees September solidarity month

Every day, all over the world, people make one of the most difficult decisions of their lives: to leave their country in search of a better, safer life. The refugee crisis needs kindness like never before. Join us for a month of actions and events in solidarity with refugees.

Solving the global refugee crisis starts with each and every one of us making one simple personal commitment to help, to stand together and fight back against a divided and dangerous world.
