Every person deserves a fair opportunity to have their case heard and reviewed under the law.

A recent federal court ruling has restored access to immigration case processing for individuals from 39 countries whose applications had been blocked or delayed under a now-invalidated policy.

This update may impact pending asylum, work permit, green card, and citizenship applications.

World Refugee & Immigrant Day 2026 is almost here โ€” and we are just a little less that 3 weeks away from gathering together in celebration of resilience, culture, and community.

๐Ÿ“… Saturday, June 27, 2026
๐Ÿ•› 12:00 PM โ€“ 4:30 PM
๐Ÿ“ Catholic Life Center, Baton Rouge

This gathering is more than an event. It is a moment for us to come together across cultures and backgrounds to recognize the strength, contributions, and lived experiences of refugees and immigrants within Louisiana and beyond.

At a time when displacement continues to impact millions globally, spaces like this matter deeply. They remind us that our communities are not only resilient โ€” they are valuable, vibrant, and essential to the social, cultural, and economic fabric of this country.

๐ŸŒ If you are representing a country, cultural group, or community organization, please do not forget to sign up.

๐Ÿข Vendors, nonprofits, service providers, and community organizations are also encouraged to register early so we can prepare accordingly.

๐Ÿค We would love to have you be part of this yearโ€™s gathering.
