From sundarpichai and JulieSweet: A new initiative is using the private sector to help welcome and support refugees arriving in the U.S.
shows the global refugee crisis has rapidly increased in recent years, reaching a new record high of approximately 110 million displaced people. This is one of the defining challenges of our time. Fortunately, in the United States, we are seeing a growing movement of individuals, families and communities going above and beyond to provide support and make newcomers feel welcome.
This is a major change from what we have seen before. What was once a responsibility that fell heavily on specialist resettlement agencies is now being shared by individual families, communities, and businesses in an unprecedented public-private effort. This is something to celebrate and to build on.
We’ve made considerable progress over the last year, with companies from across industries bringing forth their unique capabilities to bolster the work of governments and nonprofits. For example, Airbnb.org has helped connect refugees and asylum seekers to free, temporary housing, HP and Google provided computers and Pixel phones to help refugees stay connected, and T-Mobile is supporting refugees with free service plans.
