In recent weeks, news of the Trump administration considering a potential refugee admissions ceiling of zero has sent shock waves through the refugee community. At a time when we are facing the largest global refugee crisis in recent history, we must continue the Lutheran tradition of welcoming those fleeing persecution and seeking refuge and maintain our humanitarian leadership as a nation.
Our mission remains more urgent than ever. Please join us on Thursday, August 8, 2019, at 3:00 p.m. (ET), for "MOBILIZING FOR REFUGEES: Actions You Can Take Now To Continue Our Legacy of Welcome" to learn how you can be most effective in your local communities and congregations.

We’re convening national and local leaders from across the country to stand together in support of refugee resettlement. Speakers will discuss:
-
State of the US Refugee Admissions Program
-
Actions you can take in your community and/or as a congregation to support refugees
-
Examples of how faith and refugee leaders are mobilizing their communities and congregations
We’ll provide you with concrete suggestions for actions you can take, including meeting legislators while they are back in their local districts, how to make an effective phone call to elected leaders, and other ways you can vocalize support for refugees and migrants. As the administration weighs the lives of men, women, and children we must remind our leaders that this decision is about more than just a number.
Don’t miss this informative webinar where you’ll learn about practical, hands-on tips, resources, and actions you can immediately take.
