“We've sensed that many of our immigrant communities have expressed some level of fear regarding the increased immigration enforcement and the horrific kidnapping of our community members..So we want to make sure that folks had a safe space that they could cast their vote.” - Homayra Yusufi [video](

Approximately 113,000 refugees have pending green card applications. Instead of processing them, the administration is freezing applications, subjecting refugees to mass re-vetting, and making it easier to terminate their status. We're going to court to fight for safety, stability, and due process!(

Every two years, PANA conducts a survey of refugees in San Diego County to better understand the experiences, challenges, and needs of our communities. This year’s report is particularly timely as it identified inequities around education, health, employment, housing, belonging, and surveillance.

PANA’S INTEGRATED APPROACH TO DEMOCRACY AND JUSTICE

In June 2016, PANA released its first report, “San Diego Refugee Experiences” the conclusion of 50 house meetings led by San Diego refugee residents to study how the community is faring in areas such as health, education, jobs and housing. What we found was that across all of our communities, for our families fleeing conflict from Africa, Southeast Asia, or the Middle East, housing insecurity follows them here in the United States.

We are Community-driven.
