10 Mar Stand with Ukraine
We are deeply concerned about the worsening humanitarian crisis in Ukraine. According to the United Nations, more than 2.5 million Ukrainians have now been forced to flee their homes. We urge that immediate humanitarian assistance be provided to those fleeing the crisis and that all those displaced are ensured human rights protections to keep themselves and their loved ones safe.
How you can help:
Advocate: Join us in urging Congress to take action today to protect refugees and displaced people from Ukraine. Call your representative at 202-224-3121 to urge:
- Humanitarian assistance to support the United Nations and other NGOs working to provide emergency response on the ground in Ukraine and in neighboring countries
- Swift processing of pending refugee applications for Ukrainians, and non-Ukrainians who had been in Ukraine, at all potential processing locations and especially in Ukraine’s neighboring countries
- Facilitate family reunification processing to reunite loved ones, such as by processing Ukrainians and non-Ukrainians who had been displaced in Ukraine with pending I-130 family petitions through the U.S. resettlement program
- Protections for Ukrainian students in the U.S.
- Robust support for refugee resettlement in the U.S.
