The Biden Administration announced this week that it will increase the number of refugees admitted into the U.S. to 62,500, a big improvement over the Trump-era cap of 15,000 refugees.

Hey team,

The Biden Administration announced this week that it will increase the number of refugees admitted into the U.S. to 62,500, a big improvement over the Trump-era cap of 15,000 refugees.

This announcement is an important step forward in undoing the Trump Administration’s harmful legacy of xenophobia, but America must do more for refugees.

That’s why Gerry re-introduced the Lady Liberty Act in February, a bill that would set a goal of admitting no less than 125,000 refugees annually.

Will you add your name here as a citizen co-sponsor of the Lady Liberty Act?

Add your name

Like Gerry always says, no one chooses to be a refugee, and the U.S. has a moral obligation to provide a safe haven for families displaced by humanitarian crises.

Gerry is fighting to get the Lady Liberty Act across the finish line in Congress, but we need your support. Will you pressure Congress to pass this important bill by signing on as a citizen co-sponsor?

Thanks,

-- Team Connolly
