"Free To Choose Whether

To Migrate or Stay"

Dear John,

The theme for Pope Francis' message for today's World Day of Migrants and Refugees reminds us that
the decision to leave one's home should be a free choice. But this isn't the case for millions of our sisters
and brothers affected by climate change.

In our own country, we've seen communities destroyed and thousands of people displaced by wildfires, record
flooding and hurricanes. Around the world, families with even fewer resources struggle to survive in the face
of more frequent and severe weather events. It's predicted that climate change could displace more than a
billion people by 2050--less than 30 years away.

Our faith calls us to act.

On Oct. 4--the feast of Saint Francis of Assisi--we will lift our voices together by emailing Congress to
address the climate crisis and its impact on our global family.

Join the Action

Your voice can help a family in the Philippines who lost their home in a typhoon and don't have the resources
to rebuild. It can make a difference for a farmer in Honduras whose crops--and only livelihood--were ruined by
unpredictable floods. Your advocacy can ensure a community in Kenya can access emergency food and not have to
migrate to find food during prolonged drought.

Will you help our global family by adding your voice on this important day of advocacy?

By participating, you will help us have a bigger impact to ensure our sisters and brothers can thrive in
their home communities and become resilient against climate change.
Prayerfully,

Catholic Relief Services and

the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops
