Hi there, John,
We recently asked you and other IRC supporters to tell us why you’re voting. And we promised to share a few responses to inspire others and to give hope during these uncertain times.
Here's a snapshot of what IRC community members, including our supporters and staff, had to say...

Text Bubble: Why does voting matter to you? This is a question we would love for you to answer as we get closer to the election. - Andrea, IRC | Bubble 2: Voting is a duty and a responsibility. It is also a joy and a privilege. -Dorothy Lynn | Bubble 3: Because it not only is it my right but it is my duty as a US citizen, and it’s a way to get my voice heard. -Rita | Bubble 4: I feel that voting is one of the largest privileges that I have been granted in my life. -Brianna | Bubble 5: I work at the IRC and over the past month, I’ve been talking to refugees who are voting for the very first time during the 2020 presidential election. Many have said voting represents hope. I just have to share this video of their uplifting stories with our supporters: Click here to watch - Sarah, IRC [link removed]

Text Bubble: Thanks for sharing that wonderful video, Sarah. It’s so true -- voting represents hope for all of us. Thanks to everyone for sharing your responses. - Andrea, IRC | Text Bubble: Hi all, thanks for your thoughtful responses and feedback. I wanted to chime in here to say that supporting the IRC is one of the best ways to empower refugees in the U.S., and across the globe. Every donation to the IRC, no matter how small, makes a huge difference. - Hank, IRC DONATE: [link removed]

Thank you so much for supporting the IRC and refugees worldwide.
