The East Bay Refugee Forum (EBRF) is dedicated to promoting self-sufficiency, leadership, advocacy and a common voice for the refugee communities of the East Bay of the San Francisco Bay Area. Our member organizations include government agencies, resettlement and other non-profit organizations, community-based groups, members of the refugee community, and individual advocates.  As an active forum, the EBRF facilitates capacity building, strengthening of service provision, and helps raise public awareness about those who have been displaced from their own countries by persecution, violence or war and who now live in the East Bay.
