Help Refugees at Risk in the U.S. and Globally

Host Organization: International Rescue Committee New York, NY, United States https://www.rescue.org

About

The U.S. accepts a limited number of refugees each year, setting record-low admission caps these past few years. Help the IRC deliver critical assistance to families in the U.S. who have fled war or persecution, including education, livelihood training, youth programs, and citizenship assistance to refugees and other vulnerable immigrant populations.

Need

More families have been uprooted by conflict and disaster in the last few years than ever before on record. Although the Biden Administration removed discriminatory Trump-era admissions categories, the record-low admissions goal is still in place and keeping refugee families apart. This slams the door on the world's most vulnerable people in their time of greatest need.

Long term impact

The United States has long been a beacon of hope for families who have fled war or persecution. By supporting the IRC's call for refugee support, you signal your voice for freedom and stand up to fear. The IRC is deeply grateful for your compassion and support for all those we serve. Your gift will be used when and where it's most needed.
