Sometimes we just need to throw a big party!

And what’s a party without you? You’re invited to join us for:

WORLD REFUGEE DAY CELEBRATION

Sunday, June 27 (NEW DATE)

5:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m.

At Refuge Coffee Co.

4170 East Ponce de Leon Ave.

Clarkston, GA 30021

Enjoy delicious food from local vendors, lots of family-friendly activities, and delicious tea and coffee drinks (lots of iced options!) as you meet your neighbors, hear from special guest speakers, gather information at our advocacy booth, experience incredible music and dance performances by community groups, and shop locally from refugee and immigrant business owners at our vendor’s market!

Sometimes the best way to proclaim that #GALovesRefugees is at a party!

This event is free and open to all, but it would really help our vendors to plan if you could RSVP 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.
