Home after Refugee Council USA Advocacy days w/ Rainbow Railroad volunteers from Jamaica, Indonesia, Kenya & Uganda. On the Hill, we advocated for refugee and asylum protection, funding and work authorization. So proud to see LGBTQI+ asylum seekers speaking out. Listen up Congress!

“Refugee systems are ultimately set up to control immigration. The systemic barriers that stop people from leaving on their own are the same barriers holding us back from helping.” - Kathryn Hampton, Head of Impact, Rainbow Railroad
