Federal court rules Trump administration can't use travel ban to keep 80 refugees out of U.S. In a decision late Monday, U.S. District Judge Jamal Whitehead in Seattle said President Donald Trump's June order banning the entry of people from 12 countries expressly states that it does not limit the ability of people to seek refugee status.

The refugee resettlement world is tough right now, and like many organizations, we’re facing uncertainty—especially when it comes to funding. One small but incredibly impactful way to support our work is by donating classroom supplies.

Right now, we’re completely out of lined paper and running low on other essentials. If you’d like to help, we’ve made it easy with our Amazon wish list: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1NNRLJD1Y0U1G?ref_=wl_share

Every donation, big or small, helps ensure that our students have the materials they need to learn and thrive. Thank you for standing with us!
