The International Rescue Committee (IRC) is honored that Amanda Gorman has chosen to support our work through the debut of her new poem, “A New Day’s Lyric.”

Overcoming the obstacles of resettling in a new country and creating a life for herself, Feroza exemplifies all that can be achieved by refugees as they make Sacramento their home. She says, "Trust yourself and motivate yourself. If I can do it, so can you."
