URGENT: Advocate for a refugee admissions goal that reflects humanitarian values and responds to global need
September is a critical month for advocacy in support of the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program (USRAP) and for all those who have been left stranded by the ongoing refugee ban. The federal fiscal year is ending. Before October 1, the administration is required to consult with Congress and establish a new target for refugee admissions for the coming year.
Now is an urgent time to call on our elected leaders to urge support for the refugee resettlement program and ensure it protects the most at-risk refugees around the world.
URGENT: Tell Congress: Stop the Cuts to Humanitarian Aid
Humanitarian aid is less than 1% of the federal budget, yet it saves lives, promotes global stability, and strengthens our own security and economy. Despite its impact, the administration continues to target these programs with devastating cuts. Now, even deeper reductions are on the table for the upcoming fiscal year. Urge Congress to reject these cruel cuts and protect vital humanitarian aid.
