"When the refugee musicians in the Refugee Orchestra Project perform a concert, conductor Lidiya Yankovskaya–herself a refugee from Russia–invariably hears one reaction from some audience members: The performers “don’t look like refugees.”

The experience helped inspire a short film that counters some of the common assumptions about refugees, from what they look like and where they come from to how they affect the U.S. economy. A group of ad industry creatives came together to work on the project, called Refugees Are Us, after Trump first halted the refugee resettlement program." Fast Co.



We also created a series of posters elaborated on the misconceptions, sharing important facts about refugees like that they lower crime rates than native-born citizens, and immigrants or their children founded 40% of America’s Fortune 500 companies.
