Sign the Petition If You Believe Refugees Deserve Safety & Dignity

What would you do if the place you thought was a refuge turned you away? For over 26 million refugees, those questions are not hypothetical; they are life and death. We are seeing this in real-time as over 4.6 million Ukrainians are forced to flee their country.

Right now, we are witnessing the highest number of forcibly displaced people since World War II, and the root causes are stark: conflict, violence, climate change, poverty, and food insecurity.

The Biden administration raised the yearly refugee limit to 125,000 but six months in, has admitted fewer than 9,000 refugees. That is not nearly enough to protect those in need and does nothing to address the root causes of why people flee in the first place.

We are calling on President Biden to reckon with the history of racist and anti-Black US immigration policies that have caused harm to people in need of protection. The US has the capability and moral obligation to welcome significantly more refugees, no matter where they come from. In addition, Biden should end Title 42 NOW and not postpone until May as was recently announced. This policy has been used more than a million times to send people seeking asylum right back into harm's way, and will continue to do so until it's officially ended. It's time to stop harmful anti-asylum policies at the border.

Sign this petition and demand the Biden administration take action to support the rights of all refugees. Sending refugees back into harm's way is inhumane, and we won't stand for it.
