Tell your representatives to reclaim their role in refugee admissions and enshrine America’s commitment to refugees in law.
You can do what the federal government won’t: fund resettlement. Help a local office to keep their doors open and their lights on.
Welcoming Made Wisconsin Work For generations, Wisconsin’s welcoming spirit has driven the state’s prosperity. From German and Polish immigrants who fueled Milwaukee’s industrial rise, to Hmong families resettled after the Vietnam War, to Afghan and Rohingya refugees...
Two of Wisconsin’s nine resettlement offices will be unable to resettle refugees next year.
Declines in arrivals and federal funding have forced The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops and Episcopal Migration Ministries to withdraw from the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program. Together, these two resettlement agencies oversee 78 of the U.S.’s 360 resettlement offices.
Catholic Charities Green Bay and LOVE INC. Sheboygan County are two of those offices.
Donating to these offices can help position these agencies to resume resettlement should the federal landscape change.
To change the federal landscape, contact your representatives.
Wisconsin deserve a resettlement program it can rely on.
Refugees do too.
