Events

Each year, WAAA hosts several events essential to our mission, providing education, advocacy, and community engagement opportunities for refugee and immigrant leaders. These events include the Women’s Community Catalyst Award (annually in March), World Refugee Day (annually in June), WAAA National Advocacy Days (annually in August), and the WAAA Field Convening (annually in December). They play a vital role in raising awareness, promoting understanding, and empowering immigrant and refugee communities nationwide.

World Refugee Day: Honoring Resilience and Unity

Each year, on June 20th, World Refugee Day (WRD), We Are All America is gearing up to once again stand in solidarity with refugees worldwide. This annual event serves as a poignant reminder of the resilience, strength, and courage of millions of individuals forced to flee their homes in search of safety and security. To mark this important occasion, We Are All America will be utilizing My Google Map to map out WRD events from our National Table, Tage Organizers, and partners in cities across the USA. This innovative approach aims to amplify the impact of WRD celebrations and provide greater visibility to the various activities happening in support of refugees.

The map will be shared with our steering committee members, state partners, and funders, allowing them to see the breadth of events taking place across the country. By centralizing WRD events on a single platform, we hope to encourage participation and engagement from a wide audience. We will also be uplifting each event on our social media platforms and in our monthly newsletter, further increasing awareness and promoting solidarity with refugees. This collaborative effort will help showcase the diversity of initiatives and activities happening in communities nationwide to support and celebrate refugees on World Refugee Day.
