The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB)Migration and Refugee Services (MRS), one of ICMC’s members, has launched an extensive toolkit ahead of World Refugee Day on 20 June 2017. The USCCB/MRS is one of nine NGOs in the United States that resettles refugees and advocates for the refugee community.

The toolkit includes prayers for migrants and refugees, commonly asked questions about refugees, sample social media posts to be shared on World Refugee Day, and community engagement ideas to participate in advocacy efforts.

Find the toolkit in pdf on the USCCB’s Justice for Immigrants Campaign website, envisioned to mobilize a growing network of Catholic institutions and individuals in support of immigration reform in the USA.
