On December 18th, the world will observe the United Nations International Migrants Day. The number of international migrants is estimated to be almost 272 million globally, with nearly two-thirds being labor migrants


There are several resources to share with your communities listed on the ALA International Migrants Day page.  http://www.ala.org/advocacy/diversity/international-migrants-day


I would encourage you to look at the webpage for the UN International Organization for Migration (IOM) Global Migration Film Festival for movies clip to hear the voices and journeys of migrants, consider offering screenings of some of the films. 


Thank you,
