The ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ in Boise launches an appeal to support its immigration and citizenship program. There is a high demand from refugees and immigrants for citizenship support.  People who have held green cards for many years are stepping forward to finish the process.  Families have sometimes before made difficult decisions to protect one family member and not others due to the cost. Now, with the support of ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡'s dedicated donors, these families will not have to face these gut wrenching decisions.  Any funds raised in excess of those needed for the immediate needs of the clients will support the ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ in Boise's immigration program, including coordinating large scale citizenship workshops, promoting know your rights workshops and citizenship exam prep classes.

On Wednesday, May 3, Utah Governor Spencer Cox held a ceremonial bill signing for H.B.102–marking a historic moment for Utah’s newcomers and a landmark in Utah’s ongoing support for immigrant communities. H.B.102, the most inclusive in-state tuition legislation in the country, extends in-state tuition to refugees, asylees, humanitarian parolees, Special Immigrant Visa (SIV) holders, Temporary Protected Status (TPS) holders, and asylum seekers upon arrival in Utah.

For individuals migrating to or seeking refuge in the United States, obtaining legal status is often the pivotal moment in their resettlement journey, granting them protection from deportation and access to crucial economic opportunities. Unfortunately, in recent years, the path to legal status has become increasingly challenging. With the immigration backlog at an all-time high and refugee and immigrant rights at stake with the upcoming election, many are left feeling overwhelmed and uncertain about their future.

Mid-December 2022, the ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ published its annual Emergency Watchlist, identifying the 20 countries in the world most at risk to face a severe humanitarian crisis or a deterioration of an ongoing humanitarian crisis in 2023. Once again, our unique methodology based on 67 indicators and discussions with key stakeholders in the region, concluded that the situations in 5 West African countries are of high concern. Burkina Faso, Chad, Mali, Niger, and Nigeria are all countries where conflict, climate change, and economic turmoil impact the lives of millions of people and limits their access to quality health, education, and protection services, food, and sometimes, even to benefit from humanitarian assistance. These countries need the world’s attention to help displaced and host populations survive, recover, and rebuild their lives. This report aims to dive into these contexts and unpack the accelerators of the humanitarian crisis to then better identify the guardrails that decision makers need to rebuild so people can move from harm to home.

Mi-décembre 2022, l'̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ a publié son rapport annuel Emergency Watchlist, identifiant les 20 pays du monde les plus à risque de faire face à une crise humanitaire grave ou à une détérioration d'une crise humanitaire en cours en 2023. Une fois de plus, notre méthodologie unique basée sur 67 indicateurs et des discussions avec des acteurs clés dans la région, a conclu que les situations dans 5 pays d'Afrique de l'Ouest sont très préoccupantes. Le Burkina Faso, le Mali, le Niger, le Nigeria, et le Tchad, sont des pays où les conflits, le changement climatique et les troubles économiques ont un impact sur la vie de millions de personnes et limitent leur accès à des services de santé, d'éducation et de protection de qualité, à la nourriture et parfois même à l'aide humanitaire. Ces pays ont besoin de l'attention du monde entier pour aider les populations déplacées et les populations d'accueil à survivre, à se rétablir et à reconstruire leur vie.
