Intiman Theatre: America's Responsibility to Refugees
For decades, the US has accepted more refugees than any other nation on earthas many as 70,000 a year. In March, however, the UN High Commissioner for Refugees declared that in spite of our status as the most welcoming nation for displaced people, America's treatment of asylum seekers can (and should) be improved. What exactly is the United States' responsibility to its current, and future, refugee population? Join journalist Margaret Larson and panelists Someireh Amirfaiz (Refugee Women's Alliance), Erika Berg (Refugee and Immigrant Children's Program), Mona Han (Coalition for Refugees from Burma) and Wemba-Koy Okonda (OKONGO) in a conversation, featuring an opportunity for Q&A with the audience. Co-sponsored by Town Hall Seattle and Intiman Theatre, as part of the International Cycle.
