As someone who cares about refugees, I wanted to make sure this important news stands out and doesn't get lost in your inbox:

Breaking news: The U.S. has just solidified its dedication to global refugee resettlement by committing to resettle 125,000 refugees over the next year.

Achieving this goal will not be easy, and a lot of work is needed to make the President's ambition a reality.

John, will you join me in asking the Biden administration to make the necessary investments to meet its ambitious resettlement goal? This is critical and can help ensure that refugees have adequate opportunities to safely rebuild their lives and enrich the communities that welcome them. >>

Over 120 million people have been forced to flee their homes worldwide. For many, only one option is available for safely rebuilding their lives: refugee resettlement. Yet, fewer than half of 1% of refugees will ever be resettled, with the U.S. being one of just 24 resettlement countries worldwide.

Refugees today have fled crises like the conflicts in Syria and Sudan, the shift in power in Afghanistan, Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and violence and persecution in the Americas.

But without significant investment in U.S. resettlement infrastructure, the U.S. may fall short of its 125,000 goal, leaving refugees waiting to rebuild their lives.

John, this critical program has allowed the IRC to resettle 29,611 refugees that arrived through the refugee pipeline since FY21, as well as an additional 12,228 Afghan allies arriving on Special Immigrant Visas. I cannot overstate how important this work is.
