World Refugee Day: Between Two Crossings

For several years Venezuela — once the richest country in South America — has been hurtling toward economic, social and institutional collapse, spurring a regional humanitarian crisis and mass migration. On World Refugee Day, Mercy Corps is joining forces with BRAVO Youth Orchestras and celebrated musicians from the Portland community for a special performance and fundraiser benefiting refugees around the world. This Take Action Happy Hour has a special focus on Venezuela as many families struggle to survive and cross the border in search of a better life.
