John—💛Today is World Refugee Day.💛

More than 122 million people are displaced—with numbers continuing to rise each year. Every one is a person with their own hopes and dreams for a better, safer future. At a time when humanitarian programs are being cut and support systems are under threat, it's time to meet the moment for refugees.

For generations, refugees have risen to meet the challenges they’ve faced. They've shown resilience in crisis, recovered from unimaginable challenges, and rebuilt their lives against all odds. Refugees have—and will always—belong in our communities.

Take our quick quiz to test your knowledge of refugees' greatest contributions—from technology to food to music, you might be surprised by what you discover.
