Take Two Actions for Immigrants and Refugees!

Join the Tweet Storm Tomorrow, Saturday, Aug. 3

Lift your voice in support of refugees and asylum seekers!

The Administration's attacks on refugees and asylum seekers have grave, long term consequences -- threatening the very survival of tens of thousands in our global community and reneging on U.S. commitments and responsibility to be a welcoming nation for those in need of safety. Trump has already taken steps to decimate access to asylum, has slashed the U.S. refugee resettlement program -- and is now reportedly considering ZERO refugees for resettlement next year!

Rise for Refuge has called for actions around the country tomorrow, August 3, to rally opposition to these outrageous decisions and proposals. Click here to locate actions near you, and join NNIRR throughout the day in a Tweet Storm to lift up our messages for rights and justice for refugees and asylum seekers.

Tweet any (or all) of the following messages or your own, with these hashtags:

#RiseforRefuge   #NORefugeeBans   #SaveRefugeeResettlement   #STOPTrump   @NNIRRNetwork

• The U.S. is a welcoming country. Banning refugees and asylum seekers is inhumane.
• Shutting down the refugee resettlement program is an assault on our humanity.
• Don't be fooled: The U.S. can help families at the border AND resettle refugees. We have the commitment, the compassion, the responsibility
• We should not give up our humanity. We must not slam the door on those seeking safety.

Sign the Petition: No Hotels for ICE

use their properties as jails for immigrants

As part of it's zero tolerance strategy, the Administration is planning to use hotels for immigrant detention. Some hotel chains -- Marriott International, Hilton Hotels, Choice Hotels, and Hyatt Hotels Corporation -- have already pledged to reject ICE requests to jail immigrants on their properties. But we need to keep the pressure on other hotel chains to go on record, make sure that those who have released statements keep their commitments -- and ensure that franchisees and staff do the same.

Hotels have collaborated with ICE in the past, including a well-known case of Motel 6, which was sued for sharing client information with ICE.

This month, NNIRR is joining with several other organizations to send a message to Best Western Hotels and Resorts, Drury Hotels, Extended Stay America, G6 Hospitality, InterContinental Hotels Group, Radisson, Red Lion Hotels, Red Roof and Wyndham Hotels. Please join us!
