Mission:
Refugee and Immigrant Connections Spokane supports and empowers refugee and immigrant communities by providing services, fostering community bonds, and advocating for refugee and immigrant rights​ in the Inland Northwest.

Rescheduled! Fireside Chat on Immigration Sunday, March 15th 10:00-12:00

Picture
Join the RICS team and immigration expert Greg Cunningham from Educators’ Immigration Resource for a fireside chat and Q/A session on immigration, legal statuses and rights, the contributions of our neighbors, and how to get involved. Walk away feeling more confident to confront misinformation and advocate for your refugee and immigrant neighbors. Your donation will support the services and advocacy work at RICS. This session serves as  an opportunity to bring our community together and provide support in advocating for refugee and immigrant communities in small and large ways–from the dinner table to the general community.
