Voice Support for Refugees in Your Community:
Join Our National State and Local Refugee Advocacy Call
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Justice for Immigrants Colleagues,
President Trump announced plans for the U.S. to admit 18,000 refugees for fiscal
year (FY) 2020. This is our country's lowest admissions goal since the Refugee
Act went into effect in 1980. Additionally, the President issued an Executive Order
that requires state and local "consent" for the refugee resettlement to continue
in local communities.
Learn how to advocate to support refugees at the local community in light of the
new Executive Order. Voice your support and advocate in your community to ensure
it remains a welcoming community!
We are holding a JFI National Call/Webinar for individuals and organizations interested
in helping refugees and supporting refugee resettlement in their states and local
communities.
