U.S (OXFAM AMERICA) : Sign the Petition If You Believe Refugees Deserve Safety & Dignity.

 

 

 

Sign this petition from Oxfam and demand the Biden administration take action to support the rights of all refugees whether from Ukraine, Haiti, Central America, Afghanistan or beyond. >>    SIGN ON                 Friend,        If your home was no longer safe, where would you go ? What would you take with you as you fled ? 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 3.7 million Ukrainians are forced to flee their country.    Right now, we are also 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.        That’s why we urgently need you to sign the petition to demand the Biden administration take action to support the rights of all refugees, whether from Ukraine, Haiti, Central America, Afghanistan or beyond.            SIGN ON           The Biden administration raised the yearly refugee limit to 125,000 but six months in, has only admitted fewer than 8,000 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 which has been used more than a million times to send people seeking asylum right back into harm’s way.        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.            ADD YOUR NAME           Thank you for speaking up,         Gina Cummings Vice President of Alliances, Advocacy, and Policy Oxfam America.                                                                           Oxfam America.
