Dear Senators Durbin and Klobuchar,

This petition is in support of your request to the Obama administration to resettle 65,000 Syrians in the United States. Please share this petition with the administration to show Americans' support for Syrians in crisis and severe danger.

In your own words "The Syrian conflict has led to the world’s worst ongoing humanitarian crisis and worst refugee crisis since World War II. More than half of Syria’s 23 million people have been forced from their homes. Almost four million Syrians are registered as refugees. The vast majority of these refugees are women and children, including almost two million children, hundreds of thousands of whom are under the age of five. An entire generation of Syrian children is at risk. More than ten thousand Syrian children have been killed, and half of Syrian refugee children are not attending school, more than one hundred thousand are working to support their families, and thousands are unaccompanied or separated from their parents. "

We also agree as American citizens that "In short, it is a moral, legal, and national security imperative for the United States to lead by example in addressing the world’s worst refugee crisis of our time by greatly increasing the number of Syrian refugees who are resettled in our country. "

Almost done! Take the next step. Share today.
