Lutherans, Let’s Respond: Advocate for Refugees in Crisis
Dear faith partners,
Now is the time to speak up on behalf of our neighbors seeking safety and new beginnings in the United States. As faith leaders and organizations, we are called to love our neighbor, welcome the sojourner, and care for the vulnerable.
According to the U.N. Refugee Agency, UNHCR, over 120 million people were forcibly displaced worldwide in 2024 due to war, conflict, and persecution—including more than 37 million refugees. The administration’s decision to fully suspend refugee resettlement has left thousands of refugees stranded overseas, while ongoing uncertainty following the stop-work order has further impacted core services to refugees who have already arrived in the United States.
Join us in taking action by signing on to a letter Supporting Refugee Resettlement drafted in partnership with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America and the Interfaith Immigration Interfaith Immigration Coalition.
