  • Summary

  • In this episode of Walk Talk Listen’s "Brews, Bites, and Banter" series, Raphael Marcus, Chief Programs Officer at HIAS, highlights the lack of attention to displaced populations in the Pact for the Future, noting that despite 120 million refugees worldwide, the document mentions refugees only four times and does not adequately address asylum seekers' rights or the growing xenophobia they face. He also emphasizes the critical role of faith-based organizations in supporting displaced communities and advocates for more inclusion and local representation at global events. Raphael calls for a systemic shift in how global gatherings like the UNGA are held, suggesting that hosting them in more accessible locations could lead to better representation from grassroots and local actors. Raphael Marcus is the Chief Programs Officer at HIAS, the Jewish Global Refugee Agency. With extensive experience in executive management, field deployment, and disaster management, Raphael has overseen large-scale humanitarian efforts across 24 countries, focusing on refugee aid, legal protection, mental health, and economic inclusion. His leadership is guided by a commitment to ensuring that displaced populations are supported through advocacy and actionable programs that meet their immediate and long-term needs.
