With Refugee Week fast approaching in mid-June, this week's Simple Act is Read a Book 📚️

Books invite us to see through new eyes, question assumptions and develop empathy that comes from truly knowing another person’s story. Reading and listening to stories of those forced to seek safety helps us to imagine lives beyond our own, understand decisions we might never face, and find shared humanity where we least expect it.

Ways to act simply:

1.) Read or listen to a book
2.) Host a book club
3.) Organise a book exchange
4.) Listen to a podcast, or produce your own

Simple Acts are everyday actions we can all do to stand with refugees and make new connections in our communities.

'Read a Book' is one of nine Simple Acts you can do for Refugee Week (15-21 June).

Some very good "souls" at work here!

A huge shout‑out to Danform Shoes! Their sneakers drive just wrapped up, and thanks to their team — and everyone who donated — USCRI Vermont received an amazing supply of high‑quality sneakers today.
These shoes will go directly to refugees and immigrants building new lives here in Vermont.
Thank you, Danform Shoes, for being such a steadfast partner in this work.

Hope to see you there!
