There is a HUGE misconception that the U.S. has created a pathway for Ukrainian Refugees to come to America. Unfortunately, that is not yet the case and we STILL NEED YOUR HELP to make it happen.
If you're too tired to read all of the info below please scroll down to the bottom for info on how you can help us exceed 100,000 signatures!
President Biden has made several statements over the past week stating that "We will welcome Ukrainian refugees with open arms." However, the administration has not announced any new plans to make that happen. (Source 1, Source 2, Source 3) In fact, only 7 Ukrainian Refugees were resettled in the U.S. from March 1-16, according to internal State Department data (Source 4).
But there is momentum for change thanks to YOU - signing, sharing, and contacting your representatives. "A group of more than three dozen Democratic lawmakers urged Biden in a March 11 letter to increase refugee admissions and allow Ukrainians with family members in the United States to enter faster through a temporary mechanism known as "humanitarian parole."
Our petition team also has new interviews airing tonight through the Washington News Network in Boston, Atlanta, Seattle, Orlando, Pittsburgh, Charlotte, Jacksonville, Memphis, Tulsa, and Dayton. Click here to see the interview with White House Correspondent Samantha Manning on WFTV.

@POTUS Other countries have stepped up but the US has not. There is no streamlined Program in the U.S. for Ukrainian Refugees. Please help to reunite Ukrainian Refugees with their families/ sponsors in the U.S. Sign and share: Change.org/RefugeesUkraine https://www.wftv.com/news/local/family-pushes-streamlined-pathway-ukrainian-refugees-come-us/AV3YAJRMNJFOXLDFXFVLZSJ2BA/?fbclid=IwAR0G5MvTKGv26oD42xJsaLJOaJlDBnWR1_7EXr6Xmutg1TV3raSGx43PkOM
