Honing the Message in Washington D.C.

Research

The public messages about refugees and migrants have been a battle ground in the policy debate on both sides of the Atlantic. In May 2016, America's Voice hosted a Migration Learning Exchange which allowed 14 European activists and 8 funders to tap into the US experience.  This was an exercise in two halves - hearing from people affected by existing policies and sharing the concerns of advocates who are engaging with decision-makers. The conclusion? Well the message is important, but so are the messengers.
