World Refugee Day

Dear friends, Today on World Refugee Day, Amnesty International is fighting anti- refugee sentiment and expressing solidarity with the more than 22 million refugees around the world who are seeking safety and a home. Now, more than ever, we cannot shut our doors to people fleeing violence and seeking safety. Instead, we need to come together to say I Welcome. As part of World Refugee Day, we are excited to announce an exciting and unprecedented event – 300 small concerts in 60 countries, on one day in September, to support our campaign for refugees. It’s called Give a Home, and it’s a partnership with Sofar Sounds. Starting today, you can sign up for a chance to attend one of 300 global concerts, including new and exciting talent like KT Tunstall, Local Natives, BROODS, Above & Beyond, and The Naked and Famous. Here’s how it works. Go to Give a Home to enter. Enter your city to see concerts in your area. From there, you can sign up for a chance to attend one of 300 concerts happening in private homes or unique spaces all over the world on September 20th. On September 10th, we will announce who has received tickets and you will have the chance to attend a concert and support Amnesty’s global campaign for refugees and migrants. We’re excited about this event and hope you are too! In Solidarity, Margaret Huang Executive Director Amnesty International USA PS: Want to do more to support the right of refugees? Take action by calling on your Member of Congress to block President Trump’s anti- refugee agenda that takes money away from programs to support people fleeing violence — while spending money to jail them.
