Members of the NGO Committee on Migration,
It is with heavy hearts that we share the news of the passing of a beloved member of our committee, John Bingham. He died suddenly on Tuesday, 26 July 2022, at his home in Bercenay-en-Othe, France.
John’s dedication to advocacy, combined with his immense intelligence and collaborative spirit inspired us all. He was a beacon of hope, a bright light, and a kind soul. We will miss his presence more than words can express.
An online memorial will be held in honor of John Bingham on 15 August 2022, at 9:00am (New York time). We invite you to join us, to collectively share the memories we cherish and celebrate his life.

If you wish to share photos, stories, and condolences, please visit the memorial website, where we invite you to post your tributes to John’s life and legacy.
For those who were unable to attend John’s wake and funeral mass, videos of both are now available (along with multiple articles and reflections) on the remembrance website set up by John’s family.
May we keep John’s legacy alive through our work, striving each and every day to advance the rights of migrants and refugees, advocating to create the more just world in which he so fervently believed.
Sincerely,
Executive Committee of the NGO Committee on Migration
