Nearly 59,5 million people around the world are uprooted from their homes and communities
by persecution and armed conflict. These refugees’ loss is
incalculable: they may lose their home, livelihood, safety, belongings,
or family. Currently, less than one percent of these refugees are resettled to a permanent home.
Upon arrival, the success of these
lucky families depend on the welcome they receive from their new
community. Today’s refugees are often met with indifference,
bureaucratic obstacles, and suspicion. Refugees have traveled great
distances under terrible circumstances and deserve to be treated with compassion.
They come seeking those same rights our forebears sought: the rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
Iskashitaa hopes to make this vision
of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness a reality for Tucson’s
refugees. Please take the time to learn more about Iskashitaa.
