Tell Missouri's General Assembly to WELCOME SYRIAN REFUGEES!

As Missourians we believe in creating a Welcoming Missouri for everyone. This value is best seen in how we welcome and support our refugee community. Unfortunately, a number of Governors and State Legislatures recently announced that they want to stop their states from resettling Syrian refugees. This is morally wrong and goes against everything for which Missouri stands. Missouri Immigrant and Refugee Advocates supports Gov. Nixon in his refusal to discriminate against refugee families. We urge Missouri's General Assembly to avoid such knee-jerk reactions that politicize the events in Paris, to reject misplaced blame that creates an atmosphere of fear, and to stand in solidarity with all refugees.
