World Refugee Day. 43 million refugees, searching for safety.
This year's theme: "Until Everyone is Safe."
Safety is a right, not a privilege.

Hate speech doesn't start with violence.
It starts with a word.
Then another.
Until certain people stop seeming human.
That's how it works. That's why today matters.
