Refugee Community Partnership
The Triangle
As of 2025, RCP has grown to 2,000+ Members rebuilding home in North Carolina:
A Bigger Table: Laetitia’s story is short documentary about food, migration, and the power of community solidarity. RCP’s annual Bigger Table events are organized in partnership with Snap Pea Creative Dining Durham North Carolina.
Our arterial focus on language justice emerged after RCP’s Women’s Group devoted one of their monthly gatherings to sharing frustrations and horror stories about the impact of language barriers in local medical clinics. It quickly became a community priority as it centered, also, around the conviction that cultural identities help keep us safe, nourished, and healthy – and language cultures quickly become endangered in English-dominant environments. We keep cultural identities alive through language preservation, language justice activism, and institutional organizing around language access practices and policies.
Our 5 Community Coordinators– hailing from Afghanistan, Honduras, Syria, Burma, and Malaysia –along with our bench of 30+ Community Interpreters provided linguistic and culturally-aligned support to Members as they navigate public schools, housing, health insurance, job applications, citizenship exams, and other critical aspects of public life.
