When the road ahead is uncertain and everything has changed, the International Rescue Committee is there. In this video, Sir Patrick Stewart shares how the IRC helps people whose lives and livelihoods are shattered by conflict and disaster to survive, recover, and gain control of their futures.

The Game of Thrones cast and the International Rescue Committee came together to raise awareness of the plight of Syrian refugees.

In interviews filmed by the International Rescue Committee's emergency response team in Greece, three Syrian refugees who made their way to the Greek island of Lesbos describe their harrowing experiences in Syria and why they had to leave.

Last year, the Governor of Texas declared that the state would no longer accept Syrian refugees, citing security concerns after the horrific attacks in Paris. The state demanded that the International Rescue Committee halt its resettlement programs or face a lawsuit. A federal judge on June 16, 2016 dismissed the lawsuit that would have banned refugee resettlement in Texas.

Last month, Game of Thrones cast members Lena Headey, Liam Cunningham and Maisie Williams traveled to Greece with the International Rescue Committee to hear the individual stories of refugees stranded in the country for months. Learn more.
