183 organizations send letter to Trump and Pompeo asking for a PD of 95,000
Washington, DC – Today, RCUSA joins 182 other organizations in signing a letter to President Trump and Secretary Pompeo, asking that they restore the US resettlement program to its historic norms by setting a Presidential Determination for fiscal year 2021 of 95,000.
The US had long held the distinction of being a leader in refugee resettlement, which serves not only as a critically necessary form of humanitarian relief, but as a key tool in promoting global stability.
Resettled refugees are our neighbors and community members, and during the COVID-19 pandemic have served on the front lines to keep us all safe, with 176,000 refugees working in the medical field, and an additional 175,000 along the food supply chain.
