The IRC in Atlanta’s annual Thanksgiving Feast, held on November 1, 2025, at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Atlanta, was a joyful celebration of community and belonging. Thanks to generous volunteers and supporters, families shared home-cooked meals, stories, and laughter, with many experiencing their first Thanksgiving. The evening’s highlight came when Karla, a client from Colombia, shared her inspiring journey of resilience and new beginnings, reminding everyone of the power of hope and connection.

Our analysis shows that millions of ‘people caught in crisis’ - people living in conflict, and/or who are displaced within their own countries or across borders – are in fact being left behind. Failure to take action now means that the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) will not be met, undermining the credibility of the international community and leaving millions to die unnecessarily.
