On this 75th anniversary of the UDHR, @StatePRM proudly stands w/courageous human rights defenders worldwide. 🇺🇸 continues to expand resettlement of key populations of concern, incl. human rights defenders, LGBTQI+ individuals, those persecuted for religious beliefs, & more.…
We express deep thanks to @RepTeresaLF for her strong stand in defense of asylum. She is opposed to making harmful, significant, and permanent changes to asylum law. @humanrights1st stands opposed to such changes, too.
It is wrong to tie harmful, significant, and permanent changes to asylum law to getting essential aid for our allies.
Proud to work with refugee-serving organizations across the country and our colleagues at @RCUSA_DC to meet our ambitious goal of welcoming 125,000 refugees in fiscal year 2024. Refugees enrich our communities, grow our economy & strengthen our foreign policy.
Pleased to announce Kristyn Peck, CEO at LSSNCA, is now a board member of @RCUSA_DC! 🌍 Our mission aligns with theirs in advocating for just laws. Join us in supporting refugees! Learn more at: rcusa.org/resources/rcus… #RCUSABoardMember #HumanitarianLeadership #LSSNCACommunity
