We are deeply grateful to everyone who attended today’s #AuroraDialogues in Los Angeles!

Today's event focused on “Advancing Human Rights Amid Global Refugee Crisis”, shedding light on the innovative ways we can support displaced communities around the world. We also had the privilege of screening Marguerite’s Fearless Journey, a moving film about 2016 #AuroraPrize Laureate Marguerite Barankitse’s life-changing efforts in Burundi. Be sure to follow us for video recaps, key insights, and more updates.
