Wherever conversations take place that impact forcibly displaced people, we must be equal partners at the table.
Who We Are
Refugee Congress is a national nonpartisan organization built and led by leaders who have experienced forced displacement. We promote the equal participation of refugees, asylum seekers, and all forcibly displaced people in decision-making on issues impacting our communities.
What We Do
We work at local, state, national and global levels to ensure that the expertise and lived experiences of forcibly displaced people are meaningfully included in decisions impacting our communities. We believe that policies and programs are more inclusive and equitable when they are informed and crafted by those who have experienced forced displacement.
Get Involved
Refugee Congress works in coalition and collaboration with other partner organizations as well as community members across the U.S. Interested in learning more about partnering with Refugee Congress? We’re excited to connect you with Delegates in your state for opportunities!
