Advocacy
Inspired to action during the Syrian refugee crisis of 2016, Kristy has spent the last eight years doing the ‘boots on the ground’ work of refugee resettlement. Along with her fellow board members of Danbury Area Refugee Assistance, she has helped make financial decisions for the organization, facilitated legal services for Afghan Humanitarian Parolees, arranged translation services and schooling for children, raised money, greeted families into the country right off the plane, and much more. In 2022 Kristy took part in the Connecticut Afghan Asylum Project (CAAP), which aimed to pair the unprecedented number of Afghan evacuees with pro bono attorneys to assist with the unprecedented number of asylum cases in need of filing. She describes it as an honor and a privilege to work with these families, by far the most meaningful work of her life.
