Pamela, With war raging in Gaza, millions of innocent Palestinians have been forced to flee their homes to save their lives. A congressional effort is finally underway calling on the administration to recognize and prioritize Palestinian refugees in Gaza with family in the United States. If implemented, this policy could save the lives of thousands of Palestinians and unite them with their families in the United States while we work for an immediate and lasting ceasefire. Rep. Greg Casar, Sen. Dick Durbin, and Rep. Pramila Jayapal are leading a bicameral letter expressing strong support for a Priority-2 (P-2) designation under the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program (USRAP) for Palestinians in Gaza with family in the United States. The Biden administration is reportedly considering this policy change. Letters like this are a powerful way to show that the public cares about these issues. Can you urge your Senators and Representative to sign on to the Casar-Durbin letter now and protect Palestinian refugees? We can not miss this opportunity to save lives. Write your Members of Congress now. In solidarity, Mike Phelan Progress America |
