Honoring World Refugee Day

In recognition of the strength, resilience, and invaluable contributions of refugees in our communities, we are pleased to share the State of Michigan’s official proclamation in honor of June 20th, World Refugee Day. This is a powerful affirmation of Michigan’s ongoing commitment to being a place of welcome and opportunity for all, and highlights the social, cultural, and economic impact refugees make across our state.

This year, World Refugee Day focuses on Solidarity With Refugees. As partners in this work, we know that this recognition is more important now than ever. Thank you for your continued dedication to creating a more inclusive, compassionate, and supportive Michigan for all. We invite you to share the proclamation within your networks, at community events, or on social media as we uplift the voices and stories of refugees who call Michigan home.
