A century ago, my great-grandmother fled present-day #Ukraine w/my grandfather & an infant who perished en-route. Today, I hold in my heart all who live under threat of conflict, forced to flee. Your rights, your humanity should not be among the things abandoned on the way.

A welcoming infrastructure becomes more critical when new people arrive, because it challenges communities to ask themselves, how can we be a more welcoming community for everyone? Thank you for sharing your space with us, @CDI_America! cc @RachelPeric

We don't think enough about our social infrastructure: trust between neighbors, civic participation, and how we communicate with each other. But it's key to community success. Rachel Perić from @WelcomingUSA talks about this in our new blog. constructivedialogue.org/articles/build…

Our statement on new #immigration policies announced by the Biden Administration 👇🏻 Access to asylum, to being American, should be based on principles of equality & human rights, not guided by a hierarchy of human value tied to race, origin, class - or political fear-mongering
Welcoming America@WelcomingUSA

We are dismayed that the new migration policy announced by the Biden administration yesterday continues to put limits & barriers on people seeking asylum solely based on nationality & entrenches the use of Title 42 to exclude people seeking safe haven. cnn.com/2023/01/05/pol…

Deeply disappointed by #SCOTUS decision on #Title42. True public health and safety are rooted in human freedom, equality and mobility, not in a vision of an America that limits these based on race, origin and taps fear and racism to drive politics and policy.

My mother in law died this year, but her sarma (stuffed cabbage) recipe lives on in this cookbook. Coming together around food reminds us of our common humanity - which is why this recipe book contains not only heritage dishes, but recipes for a world in which we all belong.

Dear @TimothyDSnyder: Today, I found your inspiring book displayed at my Airbnb in a deeply conservative part of Georgia. This small act not only seemed to affirm your thesis, but thrilled my granddaughter-of-Holocaust-survivors heart. Perhaps democracy will survive.

Deeply saddened to hear of yet another killing spree incited by hatred. Let us now all redouble our efforts to create a world where all of us can be safe and belong. washingtonpost.com/world/2022/12/…
