It's always great to share ideas and troubleshoot challenges with partners in the rewarding work of welcoming #refugees. Thanks to Sawsan (front center) and the whole @GlobalRefuge team for hosting us at the 2024 National Resettlement Conference in Baltimore. #HealthJusticeHope

WA state legislators can act for the dignity and employability of #daca #dreamers. Senate Bill 6157 would open more jobs to them and give credit for multilingual skills. SB5631 would require state agencies to post all services for Dreamers online. #HealthJusticeHope #waleg

It's challenging work, but we feel blessed to have ended 2023 by resettling a total of 373 refugees in the Tacoma, Seattle, Portland and Vancouver areas. That's about 50 people above our quarterly average. We have another busy year ahead! #HealthJusticeHope #RefugeesWelcome
