On World Refugee Day, LA City Council adopted our plan to support Neighborhood Councils who are interested in helping refugees by creating Welcoming Committees to assist them as they adjust to life in the US. The program, through EmpowerLA, is based on an action by the Eagle Rock Neighborhood Council and some of its members who created the refugee assistance program, Miry's List. This incredible organization started with Miry Whitehill-Ben Atar helping one Syrian family and has blossomed into a collective effort that has assisted more than 100 refugee families. That is the LA spirit. That is the American spirit. “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.” #StatueOfLiberty #WorldRefugeeDay #CityofLA #USA #Refugees #RefugeesWelcome
