Sep 12, 2024

In a letter to President Biden published today, nearly 500 bipartisan state and local elected leaders from all 50 states plus Washington, D.C. are urging President Biden to fortify investment in the refugee resettlement program and ensure it is strong enough to withstand external pressures, refugee emergencies, and political transitions for years to come.

We are asking partner organizations and constituents to uplift the release of the letter and welcome this state and local bipartisan commitment to supporting a resilient program for people seeking safety. Visit https://welcomingrefugees2025.org/ to find out if your mayor, city council members, and state legislators signed on.
