	"description": "In the days and weeks that have followed since Russia first invaded Ukraine, forcing millions of Ukrainians to flee, Europe has welcomed 3 million refugees, the United States has granted TPS to Ukraine, and the U.S. Congress has approved $13.6 billion to Ukraine assistance, including $4.5 billion for humanitarian aid. We welcome and applaud the outpouring of support for Ukrainian refugee families. At the same time we cannot ignore the double standard that is on display. The domestic response to Ukraine has stood in stark contrast to ongoing crises in Yemen, Tigray, Syria, Afghanistan, and in many other regions and countries around the world. From world leaders, to journalists, community members, places of worship, and business leaders, the responses have constantly fallen into the use of language that expresses confusion that a “civilized” or “relatively European” country could be facing so much destruction. Stories of racism faced at the borders of Ukraine and groups of Black and brown Ukrainians, immigrants, and students being denied safety are rampant. Communities previously considered anti-immigrant are now welcoming (*white) Ukrainians with open arms. We must stand together with all refugees and migrants fleeing conflict, violence and persecution. All refugees–regardless of where they come from or how they worship–deserve safety and protection. We are celebrating TPS for Ukrainians, it is evident that TPS is necessary due to mounting evidence of clear and present dangers to Ukrainians returning home. However, we fail to see how individuals from other countries who have been meeting with the administration for months, demonstrating clear and present danger to return, are not also being granted TPS at this time. The administration must immediately grant TPS and DED for Cameroonians, Ethiopians, Lebanese, Hondurans, and so many others awaiting TPS amid their country’s respective civil wars and crises of violence and economic devastation. Along our southern border, Ukrainians now join the 1.2 million other asylum seekers who are being expelled from the United States and forced to remain in Mexico. Millions of Black and brown asylum seekers have been battling the odds to reach our border only to be expelled due to a discriminatory policy that Biden has chosen to continue using. Join the petition to say loud and clear to the Biden administration that 1. ALL REFUGEES ARE WELCOME HERE, 2. We cannot discriminate in our response to humanitarian crises and wars, and 3. We must respond swiftly and comprehensively to meet the needs of refugees, displaced peoples, stateless peoples, asylum seekers, and SIVs–all of whom we have committed to help.",
