This World Refugee Day, we examine the pressing challenges that refugees face around the world and consider how we can address them.

Each year on June 20th, the world celebrates World Refugee Day. This day honors those forced to flee their homes and courageously resettle in new lands. In San Jose, welcomers from across Santa Clara County will come together to celebrate the area’s rich cultural diversity and proud history of welcoming immigrants and refugees. Additionally, to further demonstrate San Jose's welcoming spirit, the IRC in San Jose is seeking community support for our 2024 World Refugee Day Donation Drive for kitchen supplies to help our new neighbors feel at home in their new homes!

At this year's States Lay the Foundation Summit, we'll delve into stories that unite us as we champion legislation to aid the world's most vulnerable in rebuilding their lives in the US.
