On August 3rd, TIRRC is participating in a national day of action by hosting a digital campaign to #RiseforRefuge and show our leaders that we are ready and willing to welcome refugees and asylum seekers.

The Trump administration is currently considering how many refugees we should welcome into our country. But, this past week, Politico reported that the administration is considering proposing a number as low as ZERO refugee arrivals.

This unconscionable proposal would end the lifesaving work of refugee resettlement in the United States and betray our long history as a haven for those seeking refuge. We must call on our elected leaders to return refugee resettlement to least 95,000 arrivals a year and end the attacks on asylum.
