In the last few days we reported on opportunities here in Orlando, FL (one of our readers attended! thank you!) and here in Minneapolis, MN to attend PUBLIC meetings to learn more about what is happening where you live. To be effective in standing up for your community, you need to understand how refugee resettlement works and who the players are where you live.
