The most important tool is a petition calling on the US administration to resettle an additional 100,000 Syrian refugees this year, to provide substantial humanitarian aid to refugees abroad, and to make resolution of the conflict in Syria a foreign-policy priority. That petition can be found at support.hias.org/syrianrefugees.

 

 

There's more to be done! With over 60 million people displaced from their homes due to conflict and violence, the world is facing the largest refugee crisis since WWII.  Of those, 11 million people are Syrians, and the stories of their perilous journeys to find safety have caught the attention of the world.  It is a moment that requires dramatic international leadership, and as Americans, we need to ask our government to respond with urgent action.
