Ordinary People, Extraordinary Actions: Refuge Through Activism at Ottawa’s St. Joe’s Parish

About this ebook
Qu’est-ce qui motive « les gens ordinaires » à appuyer émotivement et financièrement les réfugiés ?
Cette question tombe à point, compte tenu du fait que le nombre de personnes déplacées dans le monde d’aujourd’hui est toujours élevé. Afin d’aider à gérer cette crise, il est impératif que le gouvernement canadien détermine quelles politiques encouragent les bénévoles à accueillir les chercheurs d’asile, tout en ciblant celles qui doivent être revues.
Ordinary People, Extraordinary Actions raconte l’histoire du comité de sensibilisation aux réfugiés de la paroisse Saint-Joseph à travers ses trente ans d’activités. L’ouvrage dévoile que des décisions et des actions à petite échelle ont mené à des changements importants, à la fois dans les politiques et dans la vie des gens, et montre comment ils peuvent continuer de le faire dans l’avenir.
En aidant les lecteurs – jeunes et âgés, laïques ou orientés vers la foi – à comprendre ce qui amène des individus et des communautés à accueillir des réfugiés le cœur et les bras ouverts, les auteurs espèrent inspirer les gens de partout au Canada et au-delà des frontières à renforcer leur volonté et leur capacité collective à offrir un refuge en tant que protection essentielle à la survie pour ceux qui en ont besoin.
