In a time of record displacement, showing up matters more than ever. We honor refugees' stories and choose empathy, even in the hardest times.

Looking back at #WorldRefugeeDay, we're inspired by UNHCR supporter Sebastián Llosa's message of hope.

Solidarity with refugees is the right choice, and it's an easy one to make.

Let’s show up for refugees with kindness, support and community.

Being forced to flee means:

💔 Fleeing home
💔 Leaving family
💔 Leaving friends
💔 Losing work

1 in every 67 people on earth is experiencing this.
Not even one person should have to.
