International Rescue Committee (IRC)

Rashida Jones

Known from the TV series “Parks and Recreation” and her most recent film, “Celeste and Jesse Forever,” Rashida Jones is using her voice to raise awareness about the humanitarian needs of refugees and others uprooted by global crises.

Rashida and the IRC

“It was great to see the IRC in action – delivering health care and water to refugees who would otherwise have no access to these basic services. The International Rescue Committee stays in a region to provide help and opportunity long after the news cameras go away. I look forward to using my voice to support the extraordinary work they do and keep attention on the needs of vulnerable populations.”
