COVID-19 Emergency: Refugees and asylum-seekers need you now.

Refugees are terrified. Your donation matched TODAY!

Dear John,

The past several weeks have been extraordinarily challenging. I hope that you and your loved ones are finding safety and strength.

As the COVID-19 pandemic impacts all of us around the world, asylum-seekers and refugees are struggling through this crisis in cramped, crowded conditions with little access to medical care and inadequate basic hygiene.

John, if you’ve been scared, imagine what it feels like to live in the refugee camp pictured above.

That’s why our work advocating for the health and safety of asylum-seekers and refugees is more important now than ever before.

Due to the unprecedented need caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, tomorrow is a special global day of unity and giving. It’s called Giving Tuesday Now — and I’m hoping we can count on you to stand with us on behalf of refugees and asylum-seekers.

Be one of the first to donate and help kick off this critical day of giving — a day that can mean the difference between life or death for someone at risk. Your gift will immediately be matched for double the impact. »

As part of this special day of giving, we must raise $250,000 to support our lifesaving work ensuring that human rights are front and center in the COVID-19 response and recovery. Will you help?

You have always been a believer in our work, and we hope you’ll continue to make our efforts — advocating for the human rights of asylum-seekers and refugees — a priority.

To make this day of unity and giving even more impactful, all donations will be matched — doubling what we can accomplish together at this critical time of need — so we can immediately mobilize our movement to save lives.

As a global organization, we know this pandemic reveals the interconnectedness of our world in a very personal way. We also know that during trying times like these, the best of humanity can rise.

Thank you for being part of our family.
