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.

Last year, New Jersey welcomed 1,127 refugees. This year, New Jersey is on track to welcome around 300–over 70% fewer refugees. Most of these refugees were resettled before the Trump Administration took office.
As refugee arrivals and federal funding decrease, offices close. During the last Trump Administration, almost 40% of local resettlement offices closed. As cuts continue, New Jersey’s resettlement offices are at risk of pausing programs, laying off staff, or closing altogether.
Contact your representatives to protect New Jersey’s resettlement program.
New Jersey deserves a resettlement program they can rely on.
Refugees do too.
