Američki glumac Ben Stiller također je i veleposlanik dobre volje UNHCR-a, koji bi želio da Sjedinjene Američke Države budu malo otvorenije prema izbjeglicama. Glumac tvrdi kako je uključenost i dobrodošliclica dio onoga što Amerika i jeste.

– To znači biti Amerikanac, pomagati i biti koristan – kazao je slavni glumac u svom razgovoru za dpa.

Seeing up close the constant work that the UN HC does brings in to focus how much there is to do to help the 68.5 million displaced people in the world. Loved getting to check in with him on the important work he is doing on a governmental level to change the situation for all the people affected by war, and violence around the world. And he’s a very nice guy! #withrefugees #Repost @refugees with @get_repost ・・・ What do this UN High Commissioner and Hollywood star have in common?⁣ ⁣ They REALLY care about refugees.⁣ ⁣ Our Goodwill Ambassador @benstiller met our Refugees Chief in Lebanon shortly before the latter's trip into Syria.⁣ ⁣ Their chat ahead of their two journeys had a similar message: millions of displaced Syrians are still in need. Many want to go home when the conditions are right.⁣ ⁣ This week, our Goodwill Ambassador Ben Stiller is in Lebanon meeting Syrian refugees across the country. From snowy mountains to the Bekaa Valley, to ramshackle homes in the north, Syrian refugees have been struggling away from home now for nearly 8 years.⁣ ⁣ Photo: UNHCR/Michael Muller⁣ ⁣ #BenStiller #Syria #Lebanon #refugees #WithRefugees

Popularni holivudski glumac izabran je za veleposlanika dobre volje prošle godine, u vrijeme kada je američki predsjednik Donald Trump zauzeo čvrst stav prema imigrantima, uključujući i namjeru da izgradi zid na granici s Meksikom.

In Tripoli Lebanon with @refugees…Had a nice afternoon meeting these young artists at a community outreach center. Approaching the 8 year anniversary of the beginning of the Syrian war. Here Syrian and Palestinian refugee children and teenagers come to engage in creative work, workshops on life skills, awareness sessions on early marriage, and bullying. It’s a hub of positive energy and activities for the refugee community here. All these Syrians want to go home, and until the conflict is resolved and it is safe for them to return, they are living in challenging conditions here in Lebanon. #WithRefugees video @michaelmuller7 thanks man…

Glumac je poznat po svojim ulogama u komedijama širom svijeta kao što su „Svi su ludi za Mary“, „Dozvola za brak“ i „Noć u muzeju“, a on je ubjeđen i vjeruje da ljudi općenito žele pomoći, ali ih retorika straha i mržnje koju čuju u tome može pokolebati.

Proud to be a a part of this signing ceremony for an important step forward in #votingreform. #Repost @nygovcuomo with @get_repost ・・・ Voting just got a lot easier in New York. Early voting. Closing the LLC loophole. Pre-registration for 16 & 17-year-olds. Universal transfer of registration. Synchronizing federal & state primaries. These reforms remove barriers so that more people can exercise this sacred right. A huge victory for democracy.

Glumac je nedavno posjetio izbjeglički kamp u Libanonu, a prošle godine isto je učinio u Gvatemali kako bi skrenuo pažnju na izbjegličku krizu u Srednjoj Americi.

Here in Kura with @refugees, these extremely good soccer players had me exhausted after about 30 seconds. I’m also extremely not good. These kids are in the north of Lebanon, living in small settlements, now for the better part of their lives. They are not able to go home to Syria till the conflict is resolved and it feels safe to return. In the meantime they live in very rough conditions on basic subsistence levels with help from @refugees and other local actors. I was inspired by their laughter and desire to have fun in a challenging environment. Also inspired to get in better shape. #windedtooquickly @michaelmuller7 photo! #withrefugees

– Mislim da bi bilo tko, da je bio u prilici posjetiti te ljude, upoznati ih, vidjeti kako žive, imao isti osjećaj kakav i ja imam – rekao je.
