Right now, Members of Congress are again discussing legislation to provide
relief during the COVID-19 pandemic. We must make sure that refugees are included in receiving that support.

Ask your senator to include refugees in COVID-19 relief legislation.

The economic effects of this crisis are disproportionate, and refugees have been
amongst the hardest-hit, experiencing high levels of unemployment and economic
uncertainty. Like all Americans who are struggling, they deserve help from a
country that has become their own.

Across the United States, refugees are part of the front-line response to this
crisis — as nurses, eldercare workers, grocery store owners, and maintenance
staff. We welcomed them, and now they are giving back to our communities. The
refugee community is essential, and it is essential that Congress includes them
in any COVID-19 related legislation.

Send a message to your Senator today.
