We were very grateful to attend this event and share about our work with survivors of torture and other forced migrants seeking safety in the US, and to learn more about other supports available to North Korean escapees in the US.
Thank you so much @USAsiaPacific for hosting us!

We need your help!
We've had several #AsylumSeekers come to us in crisis in the last few weeks and have had several emergency expenses.
Your gift will go to clients seeking safety in #Baltimore.

This goes against everything AWE believes in and work towards as an organization, and we stand with the hundreds of migrant advocacy groups across the country calling on Biden to reverse this egregious decision immediately. #SaveAsylum

Recently we arranged a field trip for AWE clients to Enoch Pratt Central Library. The wonderful library staff who gave us a tour, provided interpretation, and sent each client home with their very own library card.

#Libraries are special to us - they welcome everyone equally, regardless of immigration status, and for many of our clients, a library card is the first and most accessible document that validates their sense of belonging in their new community. Thank you @prattlibrary!

Many of our clients take comfort in sharing cultures and traditions from home as they settle into life in MD. Recently, our client Halimatou led a cooking class through our Client Ambassador Program and made a traditional Guinean dish for clients and staff. Thank you Halimatou!

Volunteers are essential to our work - they teach classes, cook community lunches, deliver food to clients, are community mentors, organize donations, help maintain our building, & much more.
We are so grateful for our volunteers!

This photo was taken at a border entry point in 2019. 5 years later, very little has changed.
We are incredibly disheartened by the terrifying news that Biden is considering an #ExecutiveOrder that would bar individuals from seeking #asylum at the border.

Proposed legislation will force countless people in need of asylum protections to be turned back & sent back to harm. Read more about the Senate's New Border Bill here and use the link to contact your representatives to oppose the bill. immigrantjustice.org/staff/b…
