While the full scope of COVID-19’s impact is still unfolding, we know that it exacerbates an already dire situation for forcibly displaced people around the world. Millions of refugees are trapped in highly vulnerable situations—enduring intense poverty, unstable and overcrowded housing, lack of access to medical treatment, persecution and violence.
Together with our partners, we are working to ensure the health, safety and wellbeing of refugees in the United States, at our borders and around the world.
Join us for a webinar on Wednesday, May 6 at 5pm ET, 2pm PT to learn about how COVID-19 is impacting forcibly displaced people, how Refugee Action Fund is responding and how you can help.
We are delighted to be joined by staff from two partner organizations who will share stories and reflections from the front lines of the U.S-Mexico border and in refugee communities around the world:
