CU welcomes all those who identify as having a background of forced displacement 

Though all conversation partners have a background of forced displacement, no displacement experience is the same.
 

  • Some have fled violent conflict or persecution.

  • Others lacked job opportunities in their home country and were forced to migrate to support themselves and their families

  • Others are first-generation citizens negotiating their displacement history within the context of their xenophobic, anti-immigrant nation-states.

 

CU recognizes that forced displacement is both an immediate, raw experience and one that can impact families for generations.
