Field Building & Partnerships
The Refugee Advocacy Lab works to grow and fortify the movement for refugee inclusion by supporting a diverse set of partners and refugee leaders across sectors who can help scale this work. The Lab provides tools, resources, best practices and strategic guidance to allies to build capacity in advocacy and narrative shift, and serves as a convener to bring partners together to strategize and align efforts.
We forge partnerships with traditional refugee advocates and groups that have not previously centered their advocacy on refugee issues alike.
Our Partner-Powered Work
Presidential Determination
Ahead of this year’s presidential determination, nearly 500 state and local elected leaders across the country sent a bipartisan letter calling on President Biden to invest further in the resettlement program and ensure that it is ready to withstand external pressures, refugee emergencies, and political transitions for years to come.
Let Asylum Seekers Work
The Lab is advocating with more than 60 partners and a diverse community of supporters including business leaders, faith leaders, city leaders, and community members who all agree: it’s time to let asylum seekers work.
Ask Congress to pass the House Asylum Seeker Work Authorization Act, allowing asylum seekers to support themselves and their families sooner and fill needed jobs.
Businesses for Refugees
The Lab organized with partners to recruit more than 480 business owners who pledged support for our nation’s refugees and displaced people.
