Star-studded Event Commemorates World Refugee Day

This morning, in honor of World Refugee Day, actress and Goodwill Ambassador Angelina Jolie and CNN journalist Anderson Cooper will join the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees Antonio Guterres for the U.N. refugee agency’s annual public ceremony. The event will feature the story of a couple from Bhutan who were resettled in the United States after spending years in a refugee camp in eastern Nepal. Enough Co-founder John Prendergast and I will attend, and we’ll be sending live updates via Twitter. Follow us at EnoughProject or by using the hashtag #WorldRefugeeDay.
