Refugee Congress

Our Mission Refugee Congress is a nonpartisan advocacy organization built and led by former refugees, asylum seekers, and other vulnerable migrants to promote the well-being, integration, and dignity of all vulnerable migrants. With Delegates across 50 states and the District of Columbia, we use our voices and experiences to inform and influence decision-makers on critical domestic and international issues that affect our communities. We do this by- Working with refugee, asylum seeker, and vulnerable migrant communities in each state to gather information about their concerns, needs, barriers, and successes; we then bring these perspectives to our national partners- Partnering with government agencies, elected officials, service providers, and nonprofit organizations at local, state, national and international levels to craft policies and programs that promote the well-being, integration, and dignity for refugees, asylees and vulnerable migrants- Promoting information sharing to increase understanding of current issues and trends that affect our communities, and to identify solutions- Increasing awareness about who we are, why we are here, and what we contribute to our local communities and the larger society.
