Glasgow

Five years ago, the Paris Agreement went into effect. Paris provided an important framework in the fight against climate change, but it wasn’t enough. That’s why I’ll be speaking in Glasgow on Monday about the road ahead and what young people in particular can do to help. pic.twitter.com/E7P3X6jtny

Signing the Paris Agreement to fight climate change was one of my proudest moments in office. But it was always a foundation to build on. As world leaders gather for COP26, I shared some reflections on the road to Paris and the young activists who are pushing us further. pic.twitter.com/EebSdTQ6QS

A Time For Boldness

This is a time for boldness and President Biden is already delivering.

By rejoining the Paris climate accords on day one, he declared loudly and clearly that the U.S. will once again lead the fight against climate change.

And this is only the beginning. https://t.co/6cSS49lkyx

Rebuilding For Tomorrow

The majesty of Notre Dame—the history, artistry, and spirituality—took our breath away, lifting us to a higher understanding of who we are and who we can be. Being here in Paris tonight, my heart aches with the people of France. Yet I know that Notre Dame will soon awe us again. https://t.co/p1mIDMbwe1

Notre Dame is one of the world’s great treasures, and we’re thinking of the people of France in your time of grief. It’s in our nature to mourn when we see history lost – but it’s also in our nature to rebuild for tomorrow, as strong as we can. pic.twitter.com/SpMEvv1BzB

The Planet Thanks You, President Obama

The strong Paris agreement on climate means a safer, more secure world for our kids. A perfect example of what American leadership can do.

The #ParisAgreement will improve the world our kids and grandkids will grow old in. We are witnessing history today. And we should be proud.

This Is What It Means To Be A Refugee

I am going to tell you guys the process of how I became an refugee admitted to the United States of American and how long it actually is.

— Arnesa Buljušmić-Kustura (@Rrrrnessa) November 18, 2015

But I'd like you to keep in mind that the process to admit Syrian refugees to the U.S.A is even more complex.

— Arnesa Buljušmić-Kustura (@Rrrrnessa) November 18, 2015

****

Okay so first things first you apply for refugee status with a U.N agency. The application process isn't just a piece of paper.

— Arnesa Buljušmić-Kustura (@Rrrrnessa) November 18, 2015

You have to submit ALL your documents. Birth certificates, report cards from school, IDs, driver licenses, passports, old utility bills.

— Arnesa Buljušmić-Kustura (@Rrrrnessa) November 18, 2015

****

If you're displaced, you have to provide proof that you are displaced. That your house was bombed/burned or that there are squatters in it.

— Arnesa Buljušmić-Kustura (@Rrrrnessa) November 18, 2015

You have to write down your story. All your family members do. Where you were born, where you are now, what you're doing, everything.

— Arnesa Buljušmić-Kustura (@Rrrrnessa) November 18, 2015

****

You have to provide them with names of ALL your family members, dead and alive. All your friends, neighbors, teachers. Everyone.

— Arnesa Buljušmić-Kustura (@Rrrrnessa) November 18, 2015

You have to provide their contact information as well. If some of them are dead you have to provide proof they are dead or missing.

— Arnesa Buljušmić-Kustura (@Rrrrnessa) November 18, 2015

****

This is the first step so let's say month 1.

— Arnesa Buljušmić-Kustura (@Rrrrnessa) November 18, 2015

Over the next 12 months they will review you the information you provided, check the validity of your documents and check your references.
