As the world is reacting to the new realities of COVID-19, we are opening our eye to those around us who are critical members of society. The immigrants who are vilified in the media are the ones who are keeping food on our tables. #RAINMovementMonday ow.ly/xRFK50z6YjC

When restricting movement is critical for public health, we must think about helping those who are unsafe where they are. In the coming months it is important that these temporary restrictions don't become permanent barriers. #RAINMovementMonday ow.ly/BsSi50zwMEj

Refugees come from all over the world to seek a better life in the United States. Sadly, they are often met with racism, discrimination, and oppression, the very things refugees fled from. To support the current #BlackLivesMatter movement is to support refugee rights. (1/2)

It is important to remember that organizations who fight for global equity, must do the same within their own structures. To be a force for good, institutions must look inward and challenge themselves to do better. #RAINWorkinWednesday ow.ly/mE6D50AaGQu
