From Church World Service (http://www.churchworldservice.org):
The world is faced with the greatest displacement and refugee crisis in history, and it is imperative that the United States restore its bold leadership in the global humanitarian response. The Biden administration has responded to certain acute humanitarian crises, relocating more than 85,000 vulnerable Afghans, committing to welcome up to 100,000 displaced populations fleeing hostilities in Ukraine, and beginning to rebuild the U.S. capacity to welcome.
Now is a critical time to hold the administration accountable to strengthening the U.S. resettlement program and improving our humanitarian response to emerging and protracted displacement crises around the world. Join us in calling on Congress to hold President Biden accountable to set a refugee admissions goal of 200,000 in FY 2023 and to commit to a robust investment in the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program (USRAP). An admissions goal of 200,000 will signal to the world that the United States is serious about restoring moral leadership.
Here are the top ways to take action:
