A Long-Standing Bipartisan Tradition of Welcome
Since 1980, the U.S. has admitted more than 3 million refugees. Over the last two years, the United States has welcomed hundreds of thousands of refugees and forcibly displaced migrants – including from Ukraine, Afghanistan, Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela – building on the country’s long standing bipartisan tradition of welcoming refugees. It is critical that businesses step up and help these newcomers to economically integrate into their new communities.
Companies Across the U.S. Are Stepping Up
Hundreds of leading companies have already joined Tent U.S, and are either piloting new projects to hire, train, and mentor refugees, or are scaling their existing efforts across the country to help thousands of refugees enter the labor market.
