Dear John,
Now is the time to save the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program, and to protect the lives of tens of thousands of people along with it.
Ask your Member of Congress to take action today.
October 1 marks the beginning of the 2021 fiscal year, and until the Trump administration sets a Presidential Determination (PD), no refugees will be resettled in the United States. The PD establishes the number of refugees that may be admitted into the country for the next fiscal year.
The administration is required to consult with Congress before setting a PD, and so far they have failed to do that, although they have announced their intention to set the refugee admissions target at 15,000, another historic low.
Now is the time to take a stand with us and call on our government to restore the U.S. refugee program by setting the refugee admissions goal to its historic average of 95,000.
Thank you,
