Dear Friend,


Tuesday night, the American people made their voices heard, exercising the foundational right to vote. America’s greatness lies not only in our vast diversity but also in our ability to face challenges and transform ourselves into the nation of our dreams—a beacon of hope and freedom to the persecuted and oppressed around the world.


As we move forward, we will undoubtedly encounter challenging times, but we know we can continue to count on you each step of the way.


USCRI’s humanitarian values and resilience in serving refugees and immigrants remain constant—an institutional commitment with a history of over 114 years. Since 1911, USCRI has served as a lifeline for refugees, asylees, unaccompanied migrant children, survivors of human trafficking, and immigrants, offering critical support to help them thrive. For these individuals—some of the most vulnerable among us—USCRI provides not only essential services but also a place where they can find safety, dignity, and the support they need to rebuild their lives.


We believe all human beings deserve freedom, equal justice, and dignity.


With you on our side, I am confident that, against all odds, USCRI will always be a voice for the voiceless and bring comfort to the distressed whenever we have the opportunity.


As we reflect on the path ahead, we do so with resolve, optimism, and an unwavering commitment to continuing our work as champions for those who seek safety and opportunity in a new land.


Thank you for your ongoing support.


With gratitude,



Eskinder Negash
President and CEO
