@HomeDepot @HDCares gave us the wrong color paint, they admitted it, but refused to do anything to correct the problem. Now my walls are a hideous color and I’m out MORE money because I had to buy more paint and pay for more labor.

This sums up why I do what I do.

This year, we met incredible refugees and refugee allies who are making their marks on communities across the United States and around the world.

They showed us the best of humanity and the true meaning of compassion. 💙

Very cool new tool my team came out with!

Your local medic. Your neighbor. Your friend. Refugees are living in communities across the U.S. If you live in Atlanta, GA, Abdallah’s smiling face may have brought you comfort when you called an ambulance.

Meet other newcomers in your community using our new story map!

Time for my annual drag race vote! #TeamAquaria! I didn’t like her for most of the season, but her talent, commitment, and creativity are undeniable.

But more importantly- #TeamCracker for miss congeniality!

Young people have helped lead all our great movements. How inspiring to see it again in so many smart, fearless students standing up for their right to be safe; marching and organizing to remake the world as it should be. We've been waiting for you. And we've got your backs.

Empowering women and girls is key to ending hunger. Without that, the cycle of malnutrition will continue. #empowerwomen #malnutrition
