World Refugee Day Chicago: Honoring the Strength and Resilience of Refugees
A Celebration of Community and Support
Since 2002, World Refugee Day Chicago (WRD) has been a beacon of hope and support for refugees in the city. Through events, workshops, conferences, and lunches, WRD has played a vital role in commemorating and celebrating the lives of those who have sought refuge in Chicago.
Upcoming Gala and Advocacy Event
This year, WRD is organizing a special gala and advocacy event to honor the strength and resilience of refugees. The Chicago Refugee Coalition's 3rd annual World Refugee Day Gala is an evening of joy and celebration that seeks to create meaningful relationships and raise awareness about the challenges faced by refugees.
Additionally, WRD is hosting a free event downtown to showcase World Refugee Day advocacy to the broader Chicago community. The purpose of this hour-long program is to educate and inform the public about the importance of supporting refugees and the work that WRD does.
By attending these events, you can show your support for refugees, celebrate their contributions to our communities, and help create a more welcoming and inclusive city for all.
