Fantastic time participating in the World Refugee Day celebrations! #withrefugees #USAforUN

On #WorldRefugeeDay, let us embrace our responsibility to do right by refugees, to protect their human rights, and to empower them to rebuild their lives with dignity.

Today is #WorldRefugeeDay, and let me be absolutely clear: No matter who you are or where you are from, St. Louis welcomes all who want to build a better life. International Institute of St. Louis has helped resettle 600 refugees in our region in the past year, and our city is blessed to have their expertise.

We're delighted to see stronger U.S. leadership in the UN and increased support for their lifesaving work in the FY'23 SFOPs bill. Thank you to our members for your work in supporting the UN—your efforts bring real changes. Read our full statement here ➡️ bit.ly/3OvwQW6
