In the spirit of democracy, we come together to raise our collective voice to champion dignity and justice for all. The International Institute of Connecticut (IICONN) will join with its faith-based partners, immigrant-serving organizations, partner agencies, immigrants and refugees to stand together in unity with refugees and immigrants in Greater Bridgeport.
We rally to affirm our commitment that we are a welcoming community that embraces our nation’s cherished values of inclusion, equality and diversity. We stand in solidarity – across neighborhoods, faiths, and areas of focus – resolved to protect the dignity, rights and wellbeing of everyone in our communities. We affirm that no one is invisible and that all members of our communities are respected, protected and cared for.
IICONN has been settling refugees in Connecticut for 99 years.
