Thank you @AP for sharing!!
In Vermont, at least 86 blankets were sewn, knitted and crocheted by crafters for refugees to welcome them to their new community.
One crocheted blanket came with a note saying “Welcome to the USA" and advised the recipient to dress warmly in Vermont. apne.ws/cFPxxFv

It’s amazing to be able to be part of welcoming our newest neighbors.
Afghan Evacuee Resettlement Project Update: Recently, @WelcomeBlanket donated 50 handmade blankets, each with a personalized note. Also, Temple Beth Torah collected gently used books and new toys for recently resettled Afghan children.

Words to live by:
"How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world."
Today, we reflect on the legacy of Anne Frank, born 90 years ago #OnThisDay, whose words continue to inspire us all to fight discrimination & racism. #Anne90
Because of the work of countless activists change is happening!
