Dear Friends of Justice, Peace and
Integrity of Creation,
Right now, it is more important than ever to tell your
local, state, and national leaders that your community welcomes refugees and
stands ready to help them integrate and thrive. Now is the time to urge your
local and state officials to declare your communities welcoming.
Call your Senators and Representatives today and tell them your community welcomes
refugees: 1-866-940-2439
As a beacon of hope, we are a nation grounded in our values of compassion and welcome. With more than 65 million people who have been forced from their homes and are seeking safety, our actions today will determine if we uphold these values. It is imperative we live up to our commitment to the refugees we pledged to welcome and stand against discrimination based on someone's faith or where they come from.

Make your voice heard and urge your local, state, and national policy makers
to welcome refugees and support the U.S. refugee resettlement program.
It will take all of us working together to ensure the United States lives out our moral responsibility to stand with refugees. Tell your local officials to declare your community a “Welcoming City.” Tell your state and federal lawmakers to support refugee resettlement. Share stories of welcome with all of your elected leaders and urge them to live up to our welcoming legacy.

Please spread the word and have everyone you know share this alert. Thank
you for all your work and support!
