Happy world Refugee Day

•  Mouawia,
• Happy World Refugee Day! Today is a time to commemorate the strength and resilience of refugees around the world, and to celebrate the important contributions that refugees make to our communities. It's also an opportunity to promote refugee rights and take action. 
• Here are three ways you can celebrate with us today:
• 1. Join Amnesty International's World Refugee Day event (7:00 PM EST)
• We're celebrating World Refugee Day virtually with Nazik Kabalo, a passionate Sudanese human rights defender and founder of the Sudanese Women Human Rights Project. Her case was included in Amnesty's 2018 Write for Rights campaign.

• 
• 2. Call on Canada to welcome refugees 
• You may have seen in the news that the Canadian government is expected to once again renew the decision to shut the door to people seeking refugee protection who are entering from the US – a decision that puts refugee claimants in danger, is out of step with COVID-19 public health measures, and runs counter to our international legal obligations. 
• World Refugee Day is the perfect time to demand that our government champion refugee rights.
• Please phone the Minister of Immigration, Refugees & Citizenship Canada today to call for an end to this ban >> 
• 3. Visit our World Refugee Day page for more events and actions you can take part in today!

• Thank you for joining us today – and for everything you do to promote refugee rights and to honour the contributions of refugees every day. 
  
  Sincerely, 
•
