This #WorldRefugeeDay, on 20th June at 8pm EAT Reframe in collaboration with Youth Voices Community and Cohere will be hosting a Twitter space with refugee leaders to discuss how to unlock barriers to #RLO access to funding and meaningful partnerships.

Simply having a #WorldRefugeeDay is not enough! We must hold those in power accountable, engage in honest & courageous conversations, and demand concrete actions to empower and support #refugees. Otherwise, it’s just another day with some extra posts & signs about refugees.

We talk a lot about RLOs… We act as consultants to refugee-led organisations so they can grow, get funding and transform their communities, themselves. On their own terms. linktr.ee/wearecohere_org
