RAIN International

Our mission is to provide assistance, information and resources for refugees & the professionals serving them on a global scale.

It is important to remember that organizations who fight for global equity, must do the same within their own structures. To be a force for good, institutions must look inward and challenge themselves to do better.

Refugees come from all over the world to seek a better life in the United States. Sadly, they are often met with racism, discrimination, and oppression, the very things refugees fled from. To support the current #BlackLivesMatter movement is to support refugee rights. (1/2)

As part of a major stimulus package, Italy is making work permits available to undocumented migrants. This system not only makes migrants more visible in the community, but grants them a path to become a legal resident.

In northern #Syria, risk of #COVID19 in displacement camps is high due to the large number of people in close quarters. But volunteers are teaching children about the virus through theatrics, explaining the risks and how to stop the spread of infection.

When restricting movement is critical for public health, we must think about helping those who are unsafe where they are. In the coming months it is important that these temporary restrictions don't become permanent barriers.

All too often in times of national stress and tragedy, the majority lash out and begin to blame the "others" in our community. To combat these negative narratives, a coalition of advocacy groups started the campaign #AllofUS.

Around the globe, fears surrounding diseases like the Coronavirus can strand refugees and migrants in limbo. The increase in international cases has spurred many governments, mostly in Europe, to beginning turning away asylum seekers. #RAINMovementMonday
