The IRC’s response to asylum seekers here in the U.S., is the first of its kind in the history of the organization. The current administration has forced us to shift our focus from the day-to-day work of integrating new arrivals, to providing for families within our borders.
Exhibition photographs and videos of IRC’s work in the U.S. explores the arc of resettlement; different types of arrivals and welcomes, as well as our organization’s long commitment to rebuilding lives and communities. The visual display will illustrate the journey to resettlement, the value that new Americans add to our communities, and the consequences of the administration’s dangerous policies.
