Over the past four years, our country has seen some of the most surprising and polarizing moments of our lifetime. Sometimes it feels like there is a lot to process. When we become overloaded with information, we lose our direction and it becomes hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel. 

On November 3rd our nation has the chance to blast through the end of this (long) tunnel, it will be our chance to let the light back in. 

As a NEOCOCO team we make sure that we understand the reality of the refugee experience, and what the future holds for our amazing team of women. Each refugee has been on a journey, has a story, and has felt the heavy effects of what has changed in the past few years. 

 


If you are wondering about how your vote will impact the lives of refugees, look no further. We believe that it is important to share important information with our community, so that you can learn about all of the reasons why we are so passionate about our mission. Here is a great list of digestible resources to help guide your understanding of how important your vote truly is.

Women Refugee Commission:

“Migrant, stateless, and refugee women and children around the world routinely face legal and human rights violations.

Suggested Opinion Piece, The New Yorker:
