Refugee Stories, originally scheduled for Sunday, March 22, has been temporarily postponed. Stay tuned for more details.
In the meantime, urge your members of Congress to support and cosponsor the GRACE Act (S. 1088/H.R. 2146). The GRACE Act will restore refugee resettlement to its historic average of 95,000 individuals per year. Currently, the Administration has set refugee resettlement at 18,000 individuals annually, the smallest number of refugees yet. Given that there are more than 25 million refugees worldwide — more than half of whom are children — the dismantling of the resettlement program will keep thousands of vulnerable people from receiving the necessary aid, care, and protection that they deserve.
