Refugees Welcome: Congress can make it happen - Amnesty International USA’s Fall Lobby Weeks

Amnesty International USA

     The U.S. Congress can show leadership in protecting refugees, and in so doing reject the anti-refugee, Islamaphobic fearmongering encouraged by some in the United States. You can help change the harsh reality refugees face. Help us press Congress to pass the Refugee Protection Act.
      Sign up today for Amnesty International USA’s Fall Lobby Weeks. Be part of a wave of activists across the country who will be meeting with their Members of Congress in October in their home districts/states to urge them to co-sponsor the Refugee Protection Act of 2016 (H.R. 5851; S. 3241). The Refugee Protection Act reaffirms the United States’ commitment to refugees, and it strengthens legal safeguards for those seeking protection from persecution and violence.
