Description
Our proposed project will focus on the way that our internship organization, International Rescue Committee, has responded and adapted to the ongoing legislation restricting humanitarian aid projects and the entrance of refugees into the United States, as well as contrasting the systemic failures in government funding with the continued contributions from the local community to this project. Our poster will exhibit respect and preserve the dignity of others by articulating how the local IRC office continues to provide and support the refugees here in Spokane with aid from local charities, corporations, and individual funders. Furthermore, by exemplifying those who contribute and the local aid workers here in Spokane, our poster will affirm and value the worth of these individuals and the local refugee community. Finally, through comparison and analysis of government and executive orders since the start of the new administration, our poster will recognize how social systems in the United States influence the people not only within the country, but those who wish to immigrate here.
