Congress will vote soon on a budget resolution that massively increases funding for mass deportation, detention, and a militarized border. To pay for this, the budget will cut essential services like Medicaid and food assistance. Tell your elected officials: VOTE NO!

Speak up for refugees, asylum seekers, and displaced people
Tell Congress: Resume critical humanitarian programs now
The U.S. Refugee Admissions Program has been shut down. And essential programs that provide clean water, shelter, medical care, and other critical services around the world have been suspended. If we don’t act now, the U.S. will be abandoning millions of people to exploitation, violence, and hunger.
Tell President Trump: We stand with refugees, asylum seekers, and immigrants.
We’re appalled that President Trump has used his first days in office to wreak havoc on immigrant communities, but we are prepared to respond to the unjust, dehumanizing refugee, immigration, and asylum policies that this new administration puts forward.
