Mayors Migration Council

🌎In 2019 at the first ever Global #RefugeeForum🇺🇳, mayors were on the sidelines. In 2023, they’re sitting along with member states as participants in their own right!

Mayors are betting on inclusion. MMC’s $3M Global Cities Fund backs @CityOfBoston (@MayorWu), Kanifing (@mayorKMC), Koboko (#WilsonSanya), Manta (@MarciValdivieso), @QCGov (#JoyBelmonte) & @CityTorino (@Lorusso_Stefano) to turn migration into opportunity📽️bit.ly/gcf25
