John - I wanted to make sure you saw our e-mail from Friday. We
outlined how you can act and call on the Biden administration to act to
protect Ukrainians currently in the U.S. and prepare for the movement of
refugees in light of the ongoing Russian invasion of and war in Ukraine.

According to the United Nations refugee agency, about half a million
refugees

have fled Ukraine since Russia's invasion began last week - and those
numbers are likely to continue to climb. Act now and urge the Biden
administration to act swiftly. 

Thank you for everything you do for refugees across the globe -

John -

Yesterday morning, we woke up to news of Russian missile strikes raining
down on Ukraine and Ukrainians trying to flee the country, after weeks
of tension and fear.  

Take action now to protect Ukrainians currently in the U.S. and prepare
for Ukrainian refugees.  

A large-scale movement of people like this could lead to the largest
movement of refugees in Europe since 2015. With authoritarianism on the
march, democracies must respond to the weapons of war and the
weaponization of migration with moral clarity. 

The Biden administration must swiftly grant Temporary Protected Status
(TPS) or Deferred Enforced Departure (DED) for eligible Ukrainians
currently in the U.S., as well as Special Student Relief for Ukrainian
international students. We cannot force them to choose between staying
illegally or returning to a nation under attack. These are simple and
powerful steps that send a clear message to the world.  

Act now: Urge the Biden administration to swiftly grant TPS or DED and
Special Student Relief for eligible Ukrainians.
 

The U.S. and European nations must also prepare for a potential movement
of refugees from Ukraine. The United States has an obligation to offer
humanitarian support for those caught in the crosshairs of invasion and
political instability - and we must rise to the occasion and offer
protection to those facing violence, persecution, or degradation abroad.
 

For the sake of Ukrainian refugees today, and those inevitably and
forcibly displaced in the future, we must act with urgency and clarity
- now. Urge the Biden administration to protect Ukrainians currently
in the U.S. and prepare for refugees from Ukraine.
 

Thank you for all you do for refugees across the globe,
