Rebuilding Refugee Resettlement during the Next Four Years
This webinar will take stock of how the election requires us to recommit ourselves to rebuilding refugee resettlement-whether Donald Trump continues as president or Joe Biden assumes the office. Panelists will take stock of the humanitarian, strategic, and economic importance of resettlement. They will examine the global needs, the impacts on resettlement of the Trump administration, and the refugee populations supported by it, such as people fleeing religious persecution. Panelists will consider additional groups the U.S. may be drawn to resettle, such as refugees from Hong Kong or Venezuela. The panel will conclude by exploring how to strengthen the visibility of refugee contributions to local communities and economies and to strengthen the pro refugee voices of refugees, local communities of welcome, and state and local leaders.
Panelists:
- Matthew Wilch, Refugee Policy Advisor, USCCB/MRS, Moderator
- Barbara Strack, Former Chief, Refugee Affairs Division, Department of Homeland Security
- Charles Shipman, State Refugee Coordinator, State of Arizona
- Rachel Pollock, Director of Resettlement, USCCB/MRS
We look forward to you joining us! |
