Dear John,
In its first few weeks, the Biden administration has revitalized the U.S. refugee resettlement program. This means that people who have fled persecution, and want nothing more than a chance at a new life in a safe place, will again have a chance to find it here.
Tell Congress that we expect them to do the same.
At HIAS, we are encouraged by the promises that have been made to rebuild the resettlement program after the wreckage of the past four years. The Biden administration has already raised the annual refugee admissions cap to 62,500 refugees this fiscal year, and hopes to welcome 125,000 refugees in fiscal year 2022.
This will require an enormous amount of work and effort by the administration, Congress, refugee agencies like HIAS, and people like you who can help support refugees as they rebuild their lives in your communities.
Join us in letting your member of Congress know you will do all you can to welcome refugees — and that you ask them to do the same.
Thank you,
