GCIR is thrilled to host our 2024 National Convening in Detroit, Michigan. To help tell the city's migration story, we have created "Destination Detroit: A Timeline of Black, African, Arab, Middle Eastern, Muslim, and South Asian Migration." This timeline is focused on the history of Black, African, Arab, Middle Eastern, Muslim, and South Asian (BAMEMSA) communities in the United States – from the arrival of Juan Garrido and Esteban de Dorantes in the 1500s, to the publication of The Life of Omar Ibn Said in 1831, to the arrival of Arab immigrants after the Civil War, to the Great Migration of African Americans out of the South through most of the 20th century, to the embrace of Islam by many Black Americans, to the emergence of a coordinated movement of BAMEMSA groups advocating for justice and dignity in the 21st century.
GCIR is proud to share that after months of deep evaluation, final learnings from the California Dignity for Families Fund (CA DFF) are now published in our new report, “Providing Refuge & Restoring Dignity: Meeting the Needs of Migrants in a Networked Way.”
We have curated a set of resources to assist funders in preparation for a potential targeting of nonprofits and foundations. This list is not exhaustive and will be a dynamic space where we will continue to add resources as we identify them. We also encourage you to share these resources with your grantees.
