Act Now for Refugees

Act now for refugees

They're fleeing wars, conflict, persecution and hunger. They abandon their homes for overcrowded and disease-ridden refugee camps, with very little food, shelter or safety. More than 65 million refugees in the world today need our help.

For many of them, the United States is a beacon of hope – a promise of safety and a better tomorrow. But the U.S. accepts a very small number of refugees seeking asylum each year...and some lawmakers in Congress want to limit that number even more.

Refugees from places like Myanmar, Syria and South Sudan are counting on us. Tell our leaders in Washington that you want to keep our doors open to refugees in desperate need of help.

I'm writing as a constituent and as a supporter of CARE.

Every day, 34,000 people around the world are forced to flee their homes in search of safety and a better life. In Yemen, more than 2.5 million people have been displaced by ongoing violence, severe hunger and disease. Civil war has displaced more than 2 million people in South Sudan. And in Bangladesh, some 700,000 refugees fleeing violence and persecution in Myanmar have created the world's largest refugee settlement.

Unfortunately, these numbers will only get worse as conflict, instability and natural disasters continue to wreak havoc on some of the world's most vulnerable countries. It is imperative that the United States continue to welcome refugees with open arms by maintaining -- or even increasing -- the U.S. refugee quota.

I hope I can count on your support for refugees' lives and dignity by maintaining -- or increasing -- the number of asylum seekers allowed to come to the U.S. We are a compassionate country, and we should welcome refugees.

Sincerely,
