MIRA had such a great time attending the Immigrant Family Services Institute “Charting the Path Forward Through Our Collective Strength and Power” Symposium yesterday. This event brought together community organizations, nonprofit agencies, government representatives, immigrants, allies, and community members to collaboratively explore how we can utilize our collective strength to dismantle the barriers of fear, doubt, and uncertainty that newly arrived immigrants face. Being in community and working together as a community, is the strongest way we can advocate for our immigrants in this country. May we continue to have these vital conversations and create effective solutions. Thank you IFSI - Immigrant Family Services Institute - USA for creating this safe and inclusive space ?? #miracoalition #ifsi #immigrantsmatter #massachusetts

"Refugee resettlement agencies and the local nonprofits they partner with rely heavily on government funding. The funds support refugees, who have been vetted before arriving in the U.S. In Massachusetts, some funds help them cover move-in fees as they settle in and find work. The money also funds staff at the organizations, workforce training and other programs meant to help them integrate into American schools and jobs. The program has also worked with Afghans who received visas after helping the U.S. military in Afghanistan, as well as Ukrainians, Haitians, Venezuelans and other migrants who obtained temporary protections."
