We have a moral obligation to care for all those who come to our communities seeking refuge — whether they’re fleeing war, religious persecution, natural and man-made climate disasters, the absence of true opportunity, or all of the above.
Local governments can and must work to welcome and support refugees in their communities.
We’ve compiled a few resources below for supporting various communities at this moment:
