With #WorldRefugeeDay only two days away, we’re thinking about how people support each other in times of crisis. Crisis creates distance—from home, from safety, from rebuilding a life. But humanity has the power to close that distance. One team of people can reunite a family. One classroom can restore a child’s spirit. One act of courage can save a life. And there are so many more ways to make a difference. At a moment when the rhetoric around refugees is growing louder and support is under strain, how we respond matters. This World Refugee Day, join us in leading with our shared humanity—and share your story in the comments: How do you close the distance?
