Tell the U.S. to rebuild an immigration system that protects vulnerable asylum seekers!
Target: United States Executive Branch
Each year, thousands of survivors of torture and other severe human rights abuses flee persecution in their home countries, seeking asylum and other protections in the United States.
America’s long-held prosperity is owed largely to the nation opening its arms to those in need and providing a place to build lives, thrive, and give back. It is more than the right thing. It’s the smart thing.
Many of today’s leaders don’t get it. In 2016, the U.S. welcomed 85,000 asylum seekers. The next year, that number fell by 25% and 50% the year after that. In the first ten months of 2020, fewer than 12,000 people have been granted asylum in the U.S.
Please join HealthRight International in calling for the U.S. to rebuild an immigration system that protects immigrant families, refugees, and asylum seekers.
Abandoning families in need, who would become valued members of our society is a moral abdication and contrary to our nation’s interest.
Since 1993, HealthRight has provided health services to thousands of immigrants who have experienced torture, gender-based violence, LGBT-based persecution, female genital cutting, and human trafficking. But there’s so much more that must be done.
Please join HealthRight’s call for the U.S. to rebuild an immigration system that protects asylum seekers!
