description
If you currently fund in or are considering investing in rural communities and are interested in the intersection of rural issues with migrant justice, we invite you to join GCIR’s Resourcing Rural Belonging Community of Practice.
According to FWD.US, between the years 2000 and 2020 departures from rural counties across the United States outweighed new arrivals by 700,000 people. Yet many of the communities that have seen a population rebound have been the primary destination points for immigrants and refugees. This has come with challenges, including gaps in language access, workplace abuses, criminalization, and lack of legal services.
We can be certain that rural demographics will continue to shift in the coming decades. How do we prepare for that future? What will it take to advance immigrant and refugee belonging in rural communities? We hope to answer these questions as GCIR pilots this new working group, and we welcome you to join us for the next meeting.
A meeting agenda is forthcoming.
To learn more about the Resourcing Rural Belonging Community of Practice, contact Cairo Mendes, Senior Director of State and Local Programs, or visit the Resourcing Rural Belonging Community of Practice group page.
