Stand Up For Displaced Iraqi Civilians!
Target: George W. Bush, PresidentSponsored by: Ploughshares Fund
The displacement of Iraqis is now the fastest-growing refugee crisis in the world. The UN estimates that 2 million Iraqis have fled the violence in their country, and another million have left their homes seeking refuge in other parts of Iraq. Over one hundred thousand more flee every month. Yet, incredibly, President Bush has yet to acknowledge the magnitude of the crisis.
Neighboring countries are being overwhelmed by the massive influx of refugees. Refugees International reports that the violence in Iraq has reached a deadly tipping point - most Iraqis feel that their lives are in danger. The chaotic displacement of so many people feeds the cycle of conflict and violence that shows no sign of abating.
The U.S. must act now to ease this problem, including:Sign the petition below to tell President Bush that he must not ignore the plight facing displaced Iraqis any longer.

The U.S. must act now to ease this problem, including:
- increasing funding for the UN Refugee Agency;
- supporting neighboring countries that are absorbing the majority of the refugees; and
- taking responsibility for resettling the most vulnerable, including those who are targeted for death because of past association with Americans.
