This election year, let's make sure refugees and asylum seekers are not forgotten.
 
 
John,

There is so much we can't control right now. The ongoing spread of COVID-19 is unlike anything we've experienced, and we're all waiting to see the outcome of the U.S. presidential election.

John, if you're looking for something small you can control — some piece of positivity to put into the world — here is one thing you can do. Please make a gift to help us protect refugees, asylum seekers, and people affected by crises around the world. »
 
 
 
 
Regardless of the election outcome, the world's most vulnerable people need your support. Right now, instead of compassion, asylum seekers are being met with policies that deny asylum and separate them from their children in all parts of the world. UPDATE: Just last week, news reports stated that the parents of 545 children separated at the U.S.-Mexico border between 2017 and 2018 still can't be found.

Also, other marginalized groups in the U.S. are facing an uncertain future — and many refugees are being shut out, in all parts of the world.

You can help us support and protect vulnerable families, John, wherever the need is greatest. Here's how:
  • Asylum seekers: We are committed to protecting families in harm's way at the U.S. southern border. With your support, we reunite separated families after they are released from ICE detention, provide shelter and warm meals, and help with legal aid, psychosocial support and other assistance.

  • Marginalized groups: Every day, our teams are hard at work advocating for solutions for refugees, asylum seekers, DACA recipients, TPS (Temporary Protected Status) recipients, and other marginalized people worldwide. Our experts have publicly shared policy solutions and ensured that the issues affecting our clients stay on the political agenda this election season.

  • Refugees worldwide: In the toughest places on earth, you can help people survive, recover and rebuild their lives. During the pandemic, your support helps us to contain the spread, protect communities and care for people affected by COVID-19 in Yemen, Syria and other crisis areas.
In this moment of uncertainty there's one thing we absolutely know: the work we are doing together cannot stop. Will you take a moment to ensure that no matter what, the world's most vulnerable people are protected? »
