John,Â
As World Refugee Day approaches, we're taking time to reflect on the
U.S. response to welcoming refugees. Looking at the resettlement numbers
today , President
Biden and lawmakers have fallen short. But what can the administration
do to improve and how can you get involved?
On Friday, June 17th, we'll be joined by the International Refugee
Assistance Project (IRAP) and World Relief
to discuss how the Biden administration can
address the low numbers of refugees entering the United States and how
all of us can build communities that welcome our newest neighbors.
Join us this Friday at 1p.m. EST on Facebook Live
[link removed] The United States
welcomed only 1,898 refugees in May and is on track to resettle just
18,961 refugees this entire fiscal year. These statistics fall immensely
short of the annual ceiling of 125,000 refugees the
Biden administration set at the start of the year. We can do better.
RSVP for this conversation today.
[link removed] This is your opportunity
to make sure your voice is a part of the conversation. There is so much
work that needs to be done to welcome more refugees and your
participation is so important. Together, we can continue to push the
Biden administration to uphold American values of democracy and
opportunity for all.
Thanks,
Katie Lutz
