Rescue refugees!
For centuries, the United States opened its arms to many refugees
whose lives had been torn apart by war,
and those ruthlessly hounded because of who
they are or what they believe in. But today, the people of Syria

are suffering these hardships on an unimaginable scale, and we're still waiting
for US leadership on the biggest humanitarian crisis of our time.
Take action. Urge Congress to increase the number of Syrian refugees
resettled in the US.
Please, let us accept at least 200,000 refugees.
How will we pay for this?
STOP funding oppressive Muslim governments such as Pakistan!
STOP supporting the wars and human rights violations of Saudi Arabia.
SUPPORT AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL, WORLD VISION, and other human rights and development organizations.
