@RefugeesChief says: “With the majority of refugees now living in towns and cities, mayors and community leaders play a critical role in mobilising support, opening up access to services and opportunities, and helping refugees become members of new communities.”pic.twitter.com/y38Fh2sOoL1 reply 11 retweets 19 likesShow this thread
The Mayors are calling for more local authorities and municipalities to join them in welcoming and including refugees in their communities.
We hope to see the list grow!

Nations, individuals and groups that are identifying themselves with the plight of refugees world wide are helping to ease some of mankind's worst challenges. Mankind would be better for it, if similar efforts are directed towards good government nationally
