In preparation for President Trump’s impending announcement that the U.S. government will grind the refugee resettlement program to a halt, stop resettling refugees from certain countries, preference religious minorities, and reduce the number of refugees we welcome in the United States. As we face the worst displacement crisis in recorded history with over 21 million refugees, now is not the time to shut our doors. This type of discriminatory policy is morally reprehensible and does not reflect our American values of compassion, hospitality, and welcome. Here are ways you can take action!
Call your Senators and Representatives today and tell them you support the refugee resettlement program and stand with all refugees — regardless of where they come from or what religion they practice.
We are facing a pivotal moment in U.S. history. The proposed changes would mean turning our backs on the refugees we pledged to welcome — at the very time they are most desperate to find safety. As Americans and as people of faith, we must stand together and urge Congress to tell Trump to abandon these changes.
Take action TODAY and call you Members of Congress and tell them you oppose Trump’s expected announcement and your community stands ready to welcome refugees from all countries and faith backgrounds.
Here are some additional actions you can take:

President Trump, We are hearing that you will stop refugee resettlement based on someone’s nationality or religion. As a faith group, we are STRONGLY opposed to any policy change that would deny access to refugees based on their religion or nationality. Please reject such ideas, as a religious litmus test for safety is an affront to religious liberty.
