***MORE INFO AT RIFNYC.org/REFUGEEDAY***
Those seeking safety in the United States face more hostility and uncertainty than ever before. After fleeing persecution based on their identities race, sexuality, ethnic background or political opinion asylum seekers arrive here to find further alienation and a void of institutional support.
RIF is dedicated to countering isolation, and to ensuring that refugees feel welcomed in New York City. On World Refugee Day, we will gather together to proclaim our support for those seeking safety in our city. There is no better place to do that than Brooklyn Grange, the site of RIFs Urban Farm Recovery Project, which has become a sanctuary for so many people that we serve.
Spend an evening on the farm with us to learn more about our work, and support the only organization in NYC dedicated to welcoming asylum seekers!
Food by Fig and Pig, the Greene Grape, and COFFEED Sponsored by Brooklyn Grange, Nature's Party, and Fleurs Bella
We will be raffling off some exciting experiences and items including a private tour and workshop tickets at Brooklyn Grange! Raffle tickets can be purchased with General Admission tickets above, as well as at the door.
ABOUT RIF: Since its inception in 2006, RIF has been an entry point and navigator for thousands of refugees seeking asylum in NYC. We provide legal and social services that help asylum seekers get back on their feet and navigate the 3-5 year process of claiming asylum. RIF offers newcomers a roadmap as well as help with integration, empowering them to contribute to their new communities.
