Dear Advocate,
Congress faces a March 22nd deadline to pass critical funding bills to avert a government shutdown. These funding bills include lifesaving assistance to meet the humanitarian needs of those arriving at our borders and millions of displaced persons overseas. Due to continued inaction by Congress, many essential U.S. humanitarian programs—both foreign and domestic—remain in limbo.
With over 110 million displaced worldwide, and as protracted and new crises continue to force individuals and families from their homes, Congress must act now to ensure that the most vulnerable are protected.
Join JRS/USA in sending a message to Congress by March 22nd to prevent cuts to lifesaving assistance for displaced persons. Click here.
In solidarity,
Josh Utter
