Protect Refugee Funding for fiscal year 2013 >>
The House of Representatives is proposing to drastically cut funding for the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) for fiscal year 2013.  The proposed cuts will have an unprecedented negative impact on thousands of refugees we help to resettle in the United States.  The Appropriations Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services (LHHS) is proposing a funding level of $658 million for ORR for fiscal year 2013, that’s $112 million less than the current fiscal year and $147 million less than the funding requested in the President’s budget. The proposed cuts will significantly reduce services and programs that assist refugees, asylees and other vulnerable populations.

Fight the Good Fight for Just $4 >>
Right now, in state capitals all across America, a fight is brewing – and refugees are the target.  Some governors, state legislators, and mayors – attempting to cover up their own failures of leadership – are making refugees the scapegoats.  Instead of finding real solutions to their states’ social and economic woes, these lawmakers are blaming refugees.   Doors are slamming and refugee families are being kept apart by the increasing incidence of anti-refugee legislation and rhetoric.  It’s easy to blame refugees.  It’s convenient.  But it’s not right.  That’s why USCRI is fighting the good fight against anti-refugee sentiment and legislation and we hope you will, too.
