"America is on the move. Hundreds of thousands of people are packing up boxes,
loading U-Hauls, and shipping out of state in an urgent flight towards safety.

They’re being propelled by hostile political forces bearing down on them
because of who they are, what they believe, or for their medical needs.

All are displaced within their own country for reasons they did not choose.
They are the new generation of America’s internal refugees – and their ranks
are growing by the day.

Here, we profile families who have joined America’s swelling class of internal
refugees. They represent just five stories among many others which might have
been included: librarians fleeing book bans, professors forced out by
ideologically-motivated college education boards, and most recently, the
thousands of federal employees fired by the Trump administration.

Such is the tide of coerced dislocation, in the land of the free."
