“It was truly an honor to share the stories of the people we serve and advocate on their behalf.” - Latif Sarah Burke and Latif Nourozi represented Inspiritus at @rcusa_dc Advocacy Days in Washington, D.C.

this month, meeting with congressional offices, amplifying refugee success stories, and returning with new tools and partnerships to better serve our communities. Together, they met with staff from the offices of Rep. Nikema Williams, Rep. Buddy Carter, and Sen. Jon Ossoff, sharing how federal policy is playing out in real time for the communities we serve. Latif brought stories of refugee entrepreneurs who are building businesses, creating jobs, and investing in our region — and extended a personal invitation for Rep. Carter to visit our office. Sarah learned that congressional caseworkers can help resolve specific client challenges — a valuable new tool for our team. They also connected with @nooneleftbehindus , uncovering potential resources for Afghan allies and SIV holders, and met with the @elca to build pathways for future congressional engagement. #WeWillWelcome #RefugeeAdvocacy #RefugeesWelcome
