Thank you @FilippoGrandi for listening to the journeys of our @JFCSEastBay clients and reminding all that the world sees refugees and has the power to act. #RefugeesWelcome #community
Welcoming communities are vital to refugees. In the Bay Area I met families rebuilding their lives and resettlement agencies helping them, including in the @CityofSanJose (2nd US city supporting the Global Compact on Refugees). @SamLiccardo @RESCUEorg @jfcsorg @JFCSEastBay
