    Today is World Refugee Day, but really, every day is world refugee day— last year alone 44,400 each day were driven from their homes, that's 16.2 million people, 1 every 2 seconds, 15 in the time it took read this tweet, 30 in the time it took me to write it

    I met Amina in Lesvos in 2016. She was standing despite losing everything—not once, but twice— when she left Syria, and again when the boat capsized with her husband in it. I can't stress enough the urgency, reach out, learn more, speak up

    It started out as a simple idea & quickly grew into a movement. Civilian peace talks, a historic walk- the crowds are quickly growing. We began in Darfur and are walking across the desert for 30 days, the aim is peace and we've changed every conversation in Sudan
