Chicago is one of the top 10 cities in the country to resettle Afghan newcomers. On World Refugee Day in 2022, Welcome.US installed a 35-foot structure that encouraged visitors to share messages of welcome. Over 160,000 people witnessed the #BeAWelcomer installation in honor of #WorldRefugeeDay, and people sent almost 600 postcards with messages of welcome for our new neighbors.
