Our hearts go out to everyone displaced by the earthquake in Turkey. Stability and home take years to build. Tragic. Please give what you can.

“Many in north-west Syria have been displaced up to 20 times, and with health facilities strained beyond capacity even before this tragedy, many did not have access to the healthcare they critically need.” https://t.co/3VrXy1Nzmd

Great piece. Peter Schey continues to put his own interests before those of the immigrants and asylum seekers he purports to help. 143 citations for his work Casa Libre. And now #FamilySeparation. Thank you @ourprisms and @TheTinaVasquez for sharing. https://t.co/LnkpPYmBXC

Refugees are lawyers.
Refugees are chefs.
Refugees are pilots.
Refugees are musicians.
Refugees are poets.

Refugees are people like you and me.

Congrats to @capharnaumfilm, director @NadineLabaki and young Zain on your #OscarNoms for Best Foreign Language Film.

Such a powerful story of refugee resilience!

These emails are so difficult to get. I don't know this person, but I feel for them. With @SalamNeighbor we've resettled as many families as we can and have two more in process already. If anyone else has capacity and funds for sponsorship, let me know and I can connect you.

Only about 1% of refugees are ever resettled. This is the story of Ismail's journey from 6 years in a refugee camp to finding a home in Canada. https://t.co/bz2Pg21NAI

[Optimist @OptimistFilms]

After 6 years in a refugee camp, Ismail's family finally has a safe and permanent home thanks to a group of generous Canadians. Celebrate embracing #refugees this #WorldHumanitarianDay by sharing his story!

VOLUNTEER REQUEST: We need an English-Arabic volunteer translator during a 1-hour phone interview with Ismail tomorrow (8/14). Can you help us out? Please email [email protected]

Woah! Our friend Ismail met @JustinTrudeau in Antigonish today. As a Syrian refugee recently resettled in 🇨🇦 , he's personally grateful for the country's private #refugee sponsorship program & this new, permanent home for his family.
