A sneak peek into my conversation with Abomsa, who will be one of our first @welcomecorps arrivals! It was wonderful talking this morning about his hopes for his new life in the United States. Stay tuned for more #withrefugees and learn how you can get involved in sponsoring…
I’m a refugee from totalitarianism. I love this country 🇺🇸 for inviting my family Y. Vindman & me here & providing us a bounty of opportunities. I believe in this country & the promise of progress towards a more perfect union with liberty and justice for all.
My in-laws are refugees. One nephew who arrived with no English passed the CA bar on his first try. Another graduates med school next year. Both are WHS grads.
Like my refugee grandparents before them, new arrivals help make us a more perfect union. #WorldRefugeeDay #BeAWelcomer
