World Refugee Day - June 20

Please join the Interfaith Committee for Migrant Justice of the Twin Ports for World Refugee Day on Monday, June 20, 2022 from 5 - 7 pm at 12 E. 4th St (One Roof Community Housing) as we formally welcome asylum seekers, refugees, and migrants into the Duluth community which is situated on Anishinaabe Territory. Our most recent asylum seekers come from Mexico, Russia, Ivory Coast, Nigeria, Afghanistan and Venezuela. 

World Refugee Day is an international day organized every year by the United Nations. It is designed to celebrate and honor refugees from around the world.

The gathering will start with a short program of welcoming by Anishinaabe leadership, city officials, human rights and social justice organizations. This will be followed by a potluck which will include a variety of ethnic dishes. Please feel free to bring a dish of your own and remember to wear a mask for all indoor activity. If the weather is good, we can eat and mingle outside.
