TAKE ACTION: Tell the Administration We Must Welcome Refugees
16 April 2021
On April 16, President Biden announced that he has signed a Presidential Determination for US Refugee Admissions that will limit the number of refugees accepted into the US to 15,000 this year, an all-time low set by the Trump Administration. The Administration made repeated promises to significantly raise the cap of refugees resettled in the US to 62,500, but has broken their promises with this announcement.
Following this announcement, the Administration stated its intention to set a final increased refugee cap for the remainder of this fiscal year by May 15.
Your can may YOUR VOICE heard and send a letter to President Biden urging him to stand by his commitment to increase refugee admissions to 62,500 in FY21 and that we must change course and welcome more refugees.
