1 PCC4R ENewsletter! New Name and Logo! PCC4R has shortened its name to "Peace Corps Community for Refugees" and we are launching a new logo! We hope these changes will help us with outreach and communication going forward. Thank you so much to Chris Robinson of the Washington DCbased affiliate group, RPCV/W, for helping us craft our new logo! Latest News UN Global Compact for Migration In the last newsletter, we wrote about the UN Global Compact for Migration. Sadly, on December 2 the United States notified the United Nations that it will no longer take part in the Global Compact on Migration. You can read more about it in the New York Times article here. PCC4R was accepted for special status to participate in 4 informal stakeholder consultations in New York, NY on December 18. PCC4R will still participate in these consultations.
2 UN Global Compact for Migration Team. The team met in NYC to discuss the consultations. Pictured: Anne Baker (NPCA), John Dickson, Mary Dickson, Hadas Yanay (HIAS), Barbara Busch (PCC4Refugees), Valerie Kurka (PCC4Refugees), Darcy Neill.

3 Plea to DHS on Behalf of the 700 Eritrean asylum seekers On September 13, 2017, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced an order to facilitate the deportation of some 700 Eritreans from the U.S. to Eritrea. Many of them had sought asylum in the U.S. In Eritrea, they would likely be tortured or executed. RPCV John Stauffer, President of The America Team for Displaced Eritreans delivered a letter to DHS Secretary Nielsen on December 11 asking that the deportations be suspended. PCC4R signed the letter in support of the effort with other organizations and individuals. The team is encouraging people to send this letter to members of Congress, particularly senators, including to their local district offices. For more information you may John Stauffer at john@eritreanrefugees.org. Supporting Refugee Health Opportunities RPCV Jean Aden is working to present opportunities for RPCVs to support refugee health in our communities. She will highlight stories of refugees, particularly the medically vulnerable, who get help and manage to overcome medical vulnerabilities. These stories will describe the health risks many refugees encounter during their long journeys and stays in refugee camps. They should be upbeat, tug at heartstrings and show volunteers in action. She will also explore how RPCVs and local Peace Corps associations can canvass refugee health opportunities across the United States, by connecting with resettlement agencies, churches and other community affiliates. She will explore how leading universities in the health professions may engage their graduate students, many of whom are RPCVs, in refugee healthrelated matters in their communities. If you have stories to share or would like to help with this effort, please us at info@pcc4refugees.org and we'll
