The CRSA Presents Ninth Annual New Americans Celebration

Register HERE to join the Coalition of Refugee Service Agencies (CRSA) on Thursday, February 10, 2022 for the ninth annual New Americans Celebration, live-streamed from the Georgia State Capitol! The New Americans Celebration is the annual day of education and outreach for refugees, immigrants, and welcoming Georgia

community members. Watch the event—starting at 10 am—from the comfort of your home, or host a watch party with your colleagues, friends, students, or faith community. Our friends at Refuge Coffee Co. are hosting an official watch party at their Clarkston location and everyone is welcome!

#NAC22 will include a press conference featuring special guest speakers and an advocacy opportunity where YOU can take action in support of in-state tuition access for Georgia residents, including DACA recipients, refugees, and recently resettled Afghan allies.

We welcome student groups, English language learners, first-time advocates, and especially new Americans to participate in this event by tuning in on February 10—the event will be live-streamed on Facebook. Join us and take action alongside advocates from across the state! We’ll share more information on our policy priorities closer to the event.

This event is free, but please register in advance so we can capture your participation in these important advocacy efforts!

Register HERE!

What would you do if you had to leave everything behind?

By the end of 2025, more than 117.8 million people worldwide had been forcibly displaced by war, persecution, or human rights abuses — and 45 million of them are children.

They arrive in refugee camps and countries seeking safety and carrying little: legal papers, if they're lucky. A backpack. A child's hand in theirs.

What they carry that we can't see is heavier: fractured families, homes they'll never return to, professions they loved, friends and relatives they may never see again.

In a climate where immigrant stories are often ignored or twisted, we believe stories are a form of justice. When someone shares what they survived, they reclaim their voice. When we amplify it through film, photography, and advocacy, the world listens. Hearts soften. Policy begins to shift.

Because when a lawmaker sees a person instead of a statistic, and a neighbor understands instead of fears, rebuilding becomes possible.

Your support helps us share these stories where they matter most.
