IRC in Baltimore was grateful to take part in this year’s Baltimore Immigration Summit, where community leaders, service providers, and advocates came together to strengthen support for immigrants and refugees across the region.

Our staff at the IRC had the opportunity to present and join important conversations around community partnerships, service delivery, and the evolving needs of newcomers in Baltimore. Events like this highlight the impact of collective action and the importance of building a city where all feel welcome and supported.

Thank you to MIMA - Baltimore City Mayor's Office of Immigrant Affairs, Baltimore County Government, and Towson University for hosting such a meaningful and energizing event.
