Dear Miriam,
Four million people have fled Syria so far, yet the U.S. has shamefully only
accepted 1,500 of those refugees.
Fortunately, Senators Leahy (D-VT) and Graham (R-SC) have introduced a bill
that would provide an additional $1 billion in emergency funding to respond
to the refugee crisis, including costs associated with the resettlement of
refugees here. Their bill, officially titled S.2145, the Middle East Refugee
Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act, could potentially support the
resettlement of 100,000 Syrian refugees in the next two years.

cosponsor this bipartisan bill.
The world has been shocked and saddened by the plight of millions of
refugees fleeing the horrific civil war in Syria. While we have often
emailed you about ways to stop that conflict, today we're asking for your
help in protecting the men, women, and children whose lives have been
destroyed by the war. Yet, while so many of us have stood up to help those
in need, we have also seen the heartless xenophobia of Donald Trump and
others who would close our nation's borders to those in need of safe harbor.

T4a7DWl9J6F> Join us in standing up to hatred, xenophobia, and fear: Let
your Senators know that you welcome Syrian refugees.
From World War II to Vietnam, America has always opened its doors to those
in need of safe harbor, and today should be no different. Senators Leahy and
Graham have taken this courageous first step, acknowledging that, to do the
right thing, our government will need additional resources. While U.S.
taxpayers have already spent an astonishing $6.5

resources to protect those in need have been severely lacking. The UN's
refugee agency has raised just 43%

that need is only growing. While more - much more - needs to be done to both
aid Syria's refugees and end the conflict from which they are fleeing, S.
2145 is an important first step towards fixing America's broken policy
towards the Syrian Civil War.
