The United States has long been a beacon of hope for those fleeing violence and persecution, but that legacy is under attack. Congress is proposing cuts to essential refugee support programs in the FY 2025 budget, jeopardizing the safety and well-being of thousands of vulnerable families. With global displacement at record highs, these cuts will strip crucial resources from individuals who have already endured unimaginable hardships, leaving them without food, shelter or medical care.
Church World Service (CWS), one of nine resettlement agencies in the U.S with over 75 years of expertise in refugee advocacy, strongly requests you to sign our petition demanding that Congress fully fund refugee resettlement and humanitarian programs.
The stakes are too high: over 100 million people are forcibly displaced, and reducing U.S. support will have crippling consequences. We must hold our elected officials accountable to fulfill their promises and ensure that the U.S. continues to lead in refugee protection.
Stand with CWS as we support refugees everywhere!
Take action now! Sign this petition to protect refugees and demand that Congress prioritize their needs. Together, our voices can ensure the U.S. honors its promise to provide refuge and support to those in need."
