“Understand the Syrian refugee crisis like never before from heart-wrenching 'Salam Neighbor'” - @indiewire | youtube.com/watch?v=W6SxPSZV…
Our hearts go out to everyone displaced by the earthquake in Turkey. Stability and home take years to build. Tragic. Please give what you can.

“Many in north-west Syria have been displaced up to 20 times, and with health facilities strained beyond capacity even before this tragedy, many did not have access to the healthcare they critically need.” theguardian.com/world/2023/f…

Great piece. Peter Schey continues to put his own interests before those of the immigrants and asylum seekers he purports to help. 143 citations for his work Casa Libre. And now #FamilySeparation. Thank you @ourprisms and @TheTinaVasquez for sharing. ourprism.org/1960447

Refugees are lawyers.
Refugees are chefs.
Refugees are pilots.

The incredibly powerful film For Sama was just shortlisted for the Oscars. This deeply personal look into the Syrian war is a must-see. Watch for free online at @frontlinepbs pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/film/… #ForSama #ForSyria

Think right now, about someone who has gone above and beyond to help refugees. Got one? Please comment them below and nominate them for the annual Nansen Award from @Refugees 🙏🙌 unhcr.org/nominate.html
Congrats to @capharnaumfilm, director @NadineLabaki and young Zain on your #OscarNoms for Best Foreign Language Film.
Such a powerful story of refugee resilience!

These emails are so difficult to get. I don't know this person, but I feel for them. With @SalamNeighbor we've resettled as many families as we can and have two more in process already. If anyone else has capacity and funds for sponsorship, let me know and I can connect you.

Only about 1% of refugees are ever resettled. This is the story of Ismail's journey from 6 years in a refugee camp to finding a home in Canada. globalcitizen.org/en/content…

After 6 years in a refugee camp, Ismail's family finally has a safe and permanent home thanks to a group of generous Canadians. Celebrate embracing #refugees this #WorldHumanitarianDay by sharing his story!
VOLUNTEER REQUEST: We need an English-Arabic volunteer translator during a 1-hour phone interview with Ismail tomorrow (8/14). Can you help us out? Please email [email protected]

Woah! Our friend Ismail met @JustinTrudeau in Antigonish today. As a Syrian refugee recently resettled in 🇨🇦 , he's personally grateful for the country's private #refugee sponsorship program & this new, permanent home for his family.

In 1944, the Supreme Court allowed the US government to imprison Japanese Americans solely because of their national origin and ethnicity, based on empty claims of national security.
It’s one of the most shameful chapters of US history, and today’s decision now joins it.

This is why journalism is important, especially in war zones. This @nytimes investigation proved that the Assad regime used chemical weapons on civilians in Syria, and that they've been lying to cover it up. nytimes.com/interactive/2018… #Douma #Syria
