About the Campaign
Right now, more than 43 million refugees are displaced by war, violence or persecution. That’s nearly the combined populations of New York and Texas. At UNHCR, more than 6,000 staffers around the world help open doors for refugees worldwide and have been doing so since 1951.
By getting your own Blue Key, you’ll tell them you support their life-saving work, and stand in solidarity with the other citizens, celebrities and world leaders who do so. Please join us today.
