First, Save Lives! Solutions for the COVID-19 Pandemic and New Solidarity with Migrants and Refugees

As leaders and organisations of civil society around the world – many of us ourselves migrants and refugees or their children and grandchildren – we urgently call on States and government authorities at all levels to protect migrants and refugees in this global COVID-19 pandemic crisis.
