Visas Now! Aotearoa’s response to global refugee emergencies zooms in on the high-stakes, one-off intakes of Syrians, Afghans and Ukrainians in the past decade. The book features nine stories from people who advocated for specific refugee intakes, including some whose calls went unanswered. Published by Left of the Equator Press, Visas Now! is essential reading for anyone interested in solidarity and in advocating for humanitarian protection during times of crisis.
