“We spent four years in a refugee camp seeking refuge in the U.S. I came to this country because I believed, even as a child, in the promise of liberty, equality, and justice...that was the promise of the United States of America.” @Ilhan #RepealTheBan #NoBanAct

Thank you @POTUS for #RestoringWelcome by raising the #refugee ceiling to 62.5k this year -- communities of faith and welcome are just getting started.

[Refugee Council USA @RCUSA_DC]

Refugees play an important role during the pandemic. We hope @POTUS will recognize that importance and expand refugee resettlement in his next 100 days. @VP @RCUSA @weareallusa @RefugeeCongress #OpportunityForAll

"In one case, a Congolese family of five set to depart Uganda, where they've been staying since fleeing war and violence in Democratic Republic of the Congo, had their flight canceled this week."

After years of organizing and advocacy, the Muslim Ban has been repealed by executive order! This is a momentous victory -- one the Senate should seal by passing the No Ban Act, a bill @OnlyThroughUS helped introduce to stop any future religious discriminatory bans.

Right now, Congress is considering funding for Fiscal Year 2021—including funding for the refugee resettlement program and resources for local communities to help refugees integrate and thrive. Learn more and join me in taking action: https://t.co/8i7WCRsUJ6 #WeAreWelcomers

@OnlyThroughUS Co-founder @jasmineelgamal gets to the heart of Trump's fear-mongering enacted to hurt Americans and undermine our values. As ever, insights w/ both earnesty & poignancy.

[The Atlantic @TheAtlantic]

"The president’s use of Islamophobia as a weapon has undermined our country’s values, tarnished our image abroad and weakened our ability to lead by example," writes @jasmineelgamal. "Worst of all, it has made us scared of one another." https://t.co/BdsWdO4OGL

We stand with our coalition allies in condemning the White House' expansion of this immoral policy. #NoMuslimBanEver #FreedomOfReligion

[Muslim Advocates @MuslimAdvocates]

BREAKING: Trump just confirmed that he is expanding the #MuslimBan. This is an outrageous attempt to weaponize anti-Muslim hate as a political tool that won’t make us safer. Read our statement here: https://t.co/8ObhNnLHS9

CNN live feed of Democratic presidential debate goes to black in Beijing. Candidates were asked about China’s human rights record & the mass detention of Muslim minorities in Xinjiang. #PresidentialDebate

[Vets for American Ideals @Vets4AmerIdeals]

28 Governors & 84 Local Officials have now declared welcome to refugees in their communities.

If your representatives aren't one of them, call them and demand they allow refugee resettlement into your community.

FINALLY, a candidate mentions China’s internment of Muslim #Uighurs in a #DemDebate. Thank you, @JoeBiden, for shining a light on this moral sin and our nation’s silence.

The transcript from the evening is incredible. North Dakota residents shared that they would be ashamed if others thought or knew they refused refugees. Bless you, you are right and it’s an honor to see folks care for others with pride and honor.

[The Washington Post @washingtonpost]

A North Dakota county was poised to be first to bar refugees under Trump’s executive order. They said no. https://t.co/EutyoBWNaP

"Dear Mark Zuckerberg: Facebook Is an Engine of Anti-Muslim Hate the World Over. Don’t You Care?"

Please read & share my open letter to the founder and CEO of @Facebook. It's important. People are dying.

We must deprive hate of the gas it needs to survive, provide justice for its victims, and lift up examples when America shines with justice and freedom for ALL. Glad to see these jurors uphold these truths.

"We believe that the United States has a special obligation to those who supported or fought alongside American forces..." IRAP co-founder Jon Finer in a @nytimes op-ed on how the US can protect Syrian Kurd allies. #ProtectOurAllies #VeteransDay
