Supporting asylum seekers, trafficking survivors, and other forced migrants as they rebuild their lives in Maryland

[Asylee Women Enterprise (AWE) @asyleewomen]

We were very grateful to attend this event and share about our work with survivors of torture and other forced migrants seeking safety in the US, and to learn more about other supports available to North Korean escapees in the US.
Thank you so much @USAsiaPacific for hosting us!

We are so proud to share the recent achievements of one of our clients, Everson, who graduated high school last month and is now completing the Mayor's Scholars Program at BCCC!

Congratulations, Everson!

After months of diligent planning, digging, sowing, planting, and watering, the AWE community garden is now vibrantly brimming with seasonal greens and veggies!

We need your help!

We've had several #AsylumSeekers come to us in crisis in the last few weeks and have had several emergency expenses.

Your gift will go to clients seeking safety in #Baltimore.

Despite this heavy news, we remind ourselves & our community why sustained hope and resistance are necessary. Join us in speaking out against this policy in your own circles and contacting your representatives to tell them to #SaveAsylum now.

[Asylee Women Enterprise (AWE) @asyleewomen]

This goes against everything AWE believes in and work towards as an organization, and we stand with the hundreds of migrant advocacy groups across the country calling on Biden to reverse this egregious decision immediately. #SaveAsylum

#Libraries are special to us - they welcome everyone equally, regardless of immigration status, and for many of our clients, a library card is the first and most accessible document that validates their sense of belonging in their new community. Thank you @prattlibrary!

[Asylee Women Enterprise (AWE) @asyleewomen]

Recently we arranged a field trip for AWE clients to Enoch Pratt Central Library. The wonderful library staff who gave us a tour, provided interpretation, and sent each client home with their very own library card.

Many of our clients take comfort in sharing cultures and traditions from home as they settle into life in MD. Recently, our client Halimatou led a cooking class through our Client Ambassador Program and made a traditional Guinean dish for clients and staff. Thank you Halimatou!

[Asylee Women Enterprise (AWE) @asyleewomen]

Volunteers are essential to our work - they teach classes, cook community lunches, deliver food to clients, are community mentors, organize donations, help maintain our building, & much more.

We are so grateful for our volunteers!

[CLINIC @cliniclegal]

It’s been 1 year since the Biden administration enacted its Circumvention of Lawful Pathways rule. This harmful policy continues to thwart the lawful right of many migrants to seek asylum.

We call upon the Biden administration to end the #AsylumBan and protect asylum in the U.S.

We're so grateful to the nine wonderful students from @VanderbiltU who spent their Spring Break with us last week! They cooked lunches for clients, taught ESL, painted, assembled furniture, and much more! We hope their time spent with us was meaningful &we so enjoyed having them!
