Season Two, Episode Six of Hometown features interviews from Refugee Council USA Advocacy Days on the Hill in Washington, DC.

Allison and Kendall are joined by more than 250 other advocates – former refugees, members of the community who believe in and support the resettlement program – speaking to our members of Congress.

This episode brings their voices and stories to you – why they believe in advocacy for refugees, and advice and encouragement to inspire you to engage in advocacy, too.

Do you have a question about how to be most helpful in serving refugees, immigrants, and asylum-seekers? Are you interested in sharing your work or your congregation’s work? Are you eager to make connections with other people who are doing the same kind of work and learn from one another? Join Partners in Welcome, a free online community that offers a chance for engaging conversation, connection with people all over the country who care about these issues, and a wealth of resources and learning opportunities.
