For generations, refugees have risen to meet the moment. They’ve shown resilience in crisis, recovered from unimaginable storms, and rebuilt their lives against all odds. Year after year, they strengthen society, joining networks of entrepreneurs, health care workers, educators, parents, community organizers, and more. Refugees have—and will always—belong in our communities.

But in this moment, they face a new and profound chapter of uncertainty and record levels of displacement. Today there are 122 million people displaced from their homes, more than at any time in history. You can help. This World Refugee Day, stand up for refugees and meet this moment with compassion and courage.
